    Colour Coding Instrument Surround

    Was thinking of getting this done in exterior colour, but bit of a shame it would be obscured by the steering wheel

    Holy crap that's nice looking! My next ride will definitely have deviated stitching.

    The interior is over done with deviated stitching. IMHO that is.

    I was only thinking about the body colour underside, the stitching is a bit fussy for my liking.

    I like the body coloured plastic bit, but yes, you'd hardly ever notice it. I'd only do it once I'd "done everything".

    Re: Colour Coding Instrument Surround

    Deviated stitching becomes difficult with huge contrasts between leather and stitching colour. Not the yarn's appearance itself is obstrusive, the stitching's pattern evokes nervousness in the apperance.

    I recently saw a white 997 Cab with black leather and body-coloured stitching. Not recommended at all.
