Nice one. For the less astute amongst us, what’s the significance of the A62435?

A clue ..If you replace the letter A with a numberical 1 .... any help ? 🙂
You can’t get numbers only here in Qld. But you can get what’s called an A plate.
So would have liked 162435. On another car of mine, an current Audi RS3 its rego plate is A2453 for example.

So the fiddly bits. I ordered a 911R gear selector for the carbon match. Has silver stitch on the boot which is hard to distinguish from the chalk. But I'm thinking just take the **** part and swap over to the touring boot with black stitch. Consistent or not worry about it ? Anyone done the same (got a 911R gear) and kept the stitch regardless ?

And a picture i shared on another thread. But for completeness here as well. Chalk painted air vent slats. Defaults to leather then on the surround with the black deviated stitch. I'll get another picture of the full dash in better lighting sometime, but this option is worth the money. Very nice and breaks up the all black nicely. By the way, although black stitch on black leather, as others have attested it still looks much richer then without.

Wheels have had a drama and holding up the show this week. Apparently the yellow ring didn't turn out as a circle and had to be redone. So has pushed out Xpel and decal work. In the meantime, seats have been finished. For the guys in Australia. Kudos to Warren at Albion Auto Trimmers (Brisbane). Beautiful work. You can tell by the quality of the stitch and how matched side by side to the OEM stitch. Also the detailed tight sections not eh buckets which required steam heating and moulding to shape correctly.

@OP for the wheels are you using alloy wheels? I posted the link for you when you asked me and they have a few locations on Australia.

You can find their locations here

please let me know if this worked. I requested this from the factory and got a firm no... Carbon shifter will really pull it off.

I will order and do the same if this worked for you. Please let me know bud.

Yes thanks, I did see, but live in Brisbane. Used a group via my local guy who is pretty good, but unfortunately just had some delays. Hopefully all turns out well. Will know in a day or so.
