Default Miami Blue With Red Stitching?

Anyone have a 991.2 GT3 in Miami blue with bucket seats and the full leather option with red stitching? Configuring mine and have been on the fence about whether to go with platinum stitching or red stitching. Going to have standard brakes with the red calipers so thought the red stitching might tie it in together a little better, would also get the red seatbelt and red steering mark. Other option would be to get the platinum stitching and Miami blue seatbelt. Any advice on whether red would look mismatched or odd? Have the build currently with platinum stitching. If anyone has pics of Miami blue with red stitching post them please because I’ve tried searching but can’t find any real world images and it’s been in the back of my mind that maybe I should go with red stitching. Also will have the carbon fiber interior trim. Thanks!

Personal preference, of course, but I prefer red stiching with Miami blue. Well I prefer the red stitching almost whatever external color.

i just ordered a yellow 718 Cayman GTS and went with red stitching there. Definitely thought the red calipers added a consistent external/ external accent.

i looked around for photos but finding the red stitching in Miami blue or racing yellow car is pretty rare. Decided the scarcity just made it better. YMMV

If Miami blue was a true blue color than red stitching. Since it's a turquoise color, platinum stitching goes better.

Uniquely with Miami Blue you have the option of Miami Blue belts. I'd do that in a heartbeat along with platinum/silver stitching.

One of my cars is riviera blue with red stitching. The two colours aren't bad together.

+1, wouldn't mix in red thread with this setup and MB on the exterior. Save the upcharge for the red thread and apply towards Pepita insters.

Does option XVX include MB stitching? I would go with that if it is available.
Edit: NVM.. it is not available with MB.
platinum stitching with MB seat belts looks better than red stitching.

Sadly Porsche offers no blue deviated stitching of any kind/nuance...

Thanks everyone for the replies, I think I'll stick with the platinum stitching and MB seatbelts. Both options are really good which is why I was having a hard time, but I think platinum would be a safer option. Plus I'll be so focused on driving and enjoying the sound I won't be paying much attention to the color of the stitching haha

Sorry don't always come over here. I did exactly that miami, red stitching & carbon fibre! Have standard brakes red calipers. I absolutely love it! Miami is such a funky colour and the red stitching looks totally amazing set against it. Stayed black seat belts as thought red stripe on seat was just the right amount with the tdc red. Had absolutely fantastic feedback from everyone so far, had it a week. imo makes the interior as stunning as the exterior. It works what ever mood miami is in be it more blue or more turquoise! I haven't taken proper photos of interior as yet and having ppf done at moment. If you've settled on platinum cool, hope all miami blue do also! I too will be focused on the driving/sound on racetrack as well but will be lovin' the cool/funky/fun look on the way there or for a trip. I'll have some in a couple of days...

I ordered pebble stitching on my MB Turbo S. I considered red stitching, but it just does not look good on MB, especially with MB belts bringing MB color inside.
