1) I'd definitely do that. Especially given that blue grampian pic demonstrates to the n'th degree what can happen when colors don't mesh (What the h#!! are those belts, anyway?????).
2) If you call your choices not "too wild", you are one heck of a lot wilder a guy than I am (the guy with a Lava car saying this lol). Different strokes as they say......These are about as far as I'd go:
Those aren't bad, maybe bluer than I would like. I ordered a bunch of swatches today. I'm sure I can find a SB at the next PCA C&C.
Question about P1 inserts and matching the Shark Blue. Since I don't have my car yet, I can't just order samples and see what matches my car I guess I could get samples and run down to the VW dealer and match them to cornflower. Either way, I would like the wisdom of the crowd and if you have pictures, even better.
I'm thinking of:
Sport-Tex Blue/White/Black: Afraid it may be too "highlander"
Blue and Black check: Afraid it may be a little too blue and not sure how well that blue matches the stitching
Pepita Black/White/Blue: May be a bit played out at this point
Tartan "Grampian": May be a bit much but looks good on the screen
Tartan Patriot Modern: Subtle and looks pretty sharp
Yeah, these two are in the lead. Samples are on the way so we will see in person. I kind of like that blue/grey/black but for a convertible in the south, the pepita would probably be cooler and it is a historical Porsche pattern which although everyone seems to have it, there is a reason for that.

Fabric seats of any type will not heat up like leather. It's one advantage of having an alcantara steering wheel for instance. Maybe take those swatches and sit them in the sun to see if there's much difference.
and if you wanted to be a bit more subtle you could maybe do black, dark grey (instead of white), and blue pepita which I think would match the interior perfectly especially if you have the carbon bits

I passed on the carbon as I don't really care for it in this car and the weave doesn't match the buckets. I went with leather trim as well as leather climate control panel.
Finally picked up the GT4 yesterday! The car is amazing and the color is truly a head-turner. Definitely even better in person and spectacular in the sunlight. Dropped it off at All American Paint Protection in Rockville, MD for PPF, ceramic coat, and tinting. Can't wait to get it back!

Nice and congrats! You have me rethinking my blue stitching for yellow since I have the yellow PCCBs. I'm 30 days out to lock it down.

Personally, I would get yellow something on the interior to tie it all together. If you keep the blue stitching, go with yellow belts and/or gauges? Or maybe go yellow stitching and blue belts? Just a thought. I went all in with yellow stitching/belts/gauges and yellow calipers. I don’t regret it one bit and it looks great!

I did the blue stitching, and it is subtle but very nice. The yellow stitching really pops and seems to go so well with the Shark Blue. However, I wouldn’t mix the two in the interior. If they had the shark blue seat belts when I ordered, I would have added those. I think your all-in approach looks fantastic.
