Default Graphite blue leather interior, with yellow deviated stitching/gauges or belts?
Hi all. I've tried searching, but haven't been able to find this combo yet. I saw a graphite blue Turbo s (with pccb) today, with graphite blue interior with chalk stitching, and it occurred to me the yellow stitching and belts and/or gauges might look really sharp... Tie in nicely with the pccbs. Anyone ever seen this?

Thanks

Never seen it. I think it could look cool with the right exterior color. What exterior color are you planning on?

I think it would look fantastic and truly unique. I have actually played around with that combo on the 3 D configurator. You won't get much love from the black and silver only crowd though.

Maybe on a white car or yellow car with yellow belts and gauges (and PCCB), but it would certainly be unique.

Hehe, figured that combo would be polarizing

Exterior color would be grateful blue with pccb.

I personally find the yellow on the inside to be too much, especially when combine with any bolder color than black. Mixing yellow and blue..youre going to get KILLED on resale.

take a look at this, different color, but you can get an idea of what it can look like with the yellow stitching and gauges.

I would stay away from yellow belts and gauges with graphite blue/ chalk interior.
Maybe belts to match exterior color. Sometimes less is more. IMO

Thanks for the reply ppl. Been a few days and haven’t logged on...... I know, what was I thinking...

i do like the combo, and should see this in person. The possible blue jean is a good question. Hmm... back to drawing board.

my first choice was Alcantara with contrasting red stitichjng.

regards

I have the graphite blue and chalk interior and the stitching on the doors and dash is chalk (more like light grey). Personally, yellow stitching would not be to my tastes at all.
I think the yellow gauges too will not work well. All black guages work well with a lighter interior. But if you like it, all that matters. If you want to color match the PCCBs, I would pick a dark interior.

Racing yellow with full black leather and yellow stitching looks amazing, have seen a 991.2 Cabriolet with this combo live and can highly recommend it.

LOL! No, but I think if it's right for you and w/ the right exterior - chalk? - this would be distinctive, and not in a bad way
