If Miami blue was a true blue color than red stitching. Since it's a turquoise color, platinum stitching goes better.
I agree with the main statement (platinum or pebble gray rather than red) but Miami is NOT turquoise. Turquoise has slightly more green than blue. Miami has half as much green as blue, and quite a bit more white.
Miami color components vs. Turquoise (the Red level basically sets the zero point in Green and Blue balance and the % of white in the color). So Miami is whitish/milky blue with green hint. Turquoise is green-blue mix with green slightly dominating. All photos that show miami as green are incorrect white balance (they also show gray pavement as orange etc.)
Agreed. I’m curious what everyone thinks if the brakes were ceramic? Would you go with the platium stitching and Miami blue belts or yellow belts and yellow stitching.

While I think yellow belts would match the PCCB's, I still think platinum stitching works best with MB vs Racing Yellow stitch. Plus you save $3500. And it's not often you get the option to get MB belts, so it would almost make sense to go that route as well. Either way, yellow belts would still work with platinum stitching. Only reason I would go yellow stitch (or any other dev stich) on MB is to get rid of the silver seat stripe that I don't care much for. But again an $$ proposition. Then again so are PCCB's if all you want are yellow calipers and don't want to paint the reds Yellow calipers complement MB more than red IMO.

I am doing this exact build...Miami, ceramics, yellow belts and yellow stiching - with dark metal trim instead of carbon fibre inside.
Love to see pics of a car with yellow belts and yellow stiching, manual, dark aluminum trim.
Miami Blue should really be called Miami Turquoiuse or Miami Green. There is way more green than blue. IMHO red does not work with this color. You need to see the color in person. Pictures make it look like Riviera Blue and much nicer than it is in person (IMO). Miami needs silver stitching if you are on a “budget” or ideally yellow stitch with yellow calipers if you want the correct complement.
Has anyone done a Miami Blue with PCCBs, LWB and red stitching with yellow belts. I think it would look great. This is an edgy car, and this harsh contrast is in keeping with it's character. Or not!

This is my build if I don't get my PTS Viola purple. The inside and options are the same regardless of which paint color I end up with. Code PKU97282
I went with platinum because I thought red was too busy. PCCBs. The red 12:00 stripe on the steering wheel bothers me. Might change that one day to MB.

Platinum is too busy, but that Miami blue painted interior is not ?
I would have done red stitching and not painted the interior trim. As long as your happy, more power to you.

Red was too busy against all the MB interior bits, which were a must have for me.
I had red stitching and CF interior in my Spyder. Something different this time.
