Grey/green Alcantara is a problem. Genuine automotive Alcantara is very limited in terms of color. There are, however, greys and greens that would combine really well with grey/green leather, for an outstanding 2 tone effect.

The Grey/green leather is no problem at all.

Thanks for explaining. I saw what was available in Alcantara by looking at Nicole's samples. The problem I have is I am an ethical vegan and want to eliminate the leather in my car. So I need to decide between vinyl / alcantara or all alcantara. I think all alcantara is preferable, considering the character of the car. But, as you said, matching grey / green interior with what is available for alcantara is almost impossible. Your suggestion of harmonious alcantara colors seems the best choice for me.

I have installed a brand new dash but changed the color to grey / green from a sample of the leather I took from one of the visors. I still have to spray a coat of dull clear to cut the glare, but it matches the rest of the car well. Roger is lucky to have found a NOS grey/green dash.

I have a Felsengruen car with the grey-green dash, steering wheel, door panels, carpeting and center console but the seats are linen.

The taupe-like steering wheel leather is an absolute thing of beauty in this car. It looks a little beat up, and I've contemplated installing a 930S wheel, but I just can't stop digging the color of the grey-green leather. The first three pics below are from the previous owner just prior to selling the car to me, and the fourth is taken by me on a vacation getaway weekend in Destin, Fla. Regards, -rick.

I love my grey/green interior. My leather is still in very good shape, so no worries for now trying to match it for now.

So do I. It is so functional. It fades into the background at speed. My mind doesn't concern itself with the aesthetics of the interior. It grows on me the more I have the car. Our cars are basically identical. Meteor metallic = good compromise between my favorite P car color, silver, and a conservative, subtle, non-attention getting color not as likely to irritate certain authorities.
It matches my place in life presently. I think I'll keep this car alot longer.

I looked at a granite green 86.0 here in Orange Country about 2 years ago- overall a nice car, had bent valves at one point but had been nicely repaired. It had an absolutely beautiful interior:

I know this is probably not a viable option at this point, but I still lust for a grey-green sport seat for the driver's side. And I still have two sets of grey-green seats, so I can rebuild one of the driver's seats into a sport seat, unless anyone wants to trade for a regular g-g one.

I also have a Konig race seat (two actually) which I had planned to install into the 928 and the other one into my 914/6 which I'm selling, so I will have a spare Konig seat available. This is a great seat in black velour material and can be adjusted to fit individual body types, as well as offer a few degrees of adjustment once mounted into the car.

If I can get a sport seat in grey-green, I would probably toss the Konig seat because the factory seat is far superior except for weight.

I know this is late but Nicole just pinted out this thread to me now. I'm also in the grey-green camp.

That grey-green interior looks fantastic with the wood interior trim!

Also Paul did a fantastic job (he cannot remember...) doing a cargo cover and some other stuff for me. The leather he used was called "slate grey" and matched the original colour quite perfectly!

Yes, I really am lucky having this colour.

Outside colour is nil-green.

Greetings from Germany!
