All the upholstery in this interior was matched to the clients branding, with the navy blue being used throughout the interior. The seat dress covers are the Generation II design with the pinched centre insert where the leather has been gathered. The seats are Navy Blue (ADI-2021) aviation leather with matching stitching on all decorative double stitching.

The headlining upholstery consists of five parts, the rear bulkhead panel, two small winglets above the seats on the sidewalls and the two headlining pieces mounted on the ceiling. (one has a cut-out for the window in the ceiling. The headlining parts are manufactured from a special sound deadening foam that is wrapped in a Navy-Blue headlining fabric to match the rest of the interior.

The floorcoverings for this interior included a ‘Blue Shadow’ cut pile carpet to match the leather interior. The two crew floor mats have clear plastic heel mats that dome on to the carpet and these protect the carpet in areas of high wear. The carpet edges are bound with a matching mesh binding apart from the two wall panels on each side where the edges are hidden by the surround.
