Thanks Suzy,
PAG says they do not allow Birch Green stitching, they have Peridot, but I do not think this is close enough to chance it.
Just going to stay with espesso/cognac. Shift boot I will keep black/black. I will match the SD steering wheel and steering column with expresso/cognac though.

That entire area is black already, wanting to not introduce more colour as there is more than enough espresso brown leather as it is. I think the wrinkled leather of the boot looks odd whereas the remainder of thee espresso leather is smooth and tight all over. Black would hide the wrinkled look.

and indeed, that is something I didn't really think of. I ordered the PDK and that hasn't any leather boot around it, so that's not really interfering with the black of the center console.BTW... Just for your info, the black leather is not as dark as it's shown on the configurator. It's more dark grey/antracite. It's in any case lighter than it was on the 997/987.

Hi everybody
Maybe one of you can help me on a little uncertainty I have about my configuration. I've ordered a graphite 911 50 with black leather interior and went for the option "Additional Interior Package, dashboard in leather". I found the standard fitting to be too cheap looking and too visible. Now, I assume the dashboard option will come with a different type of stitching as in the rest of the car and I've become very insecure, if this could look worse than the plastic. Does one of you have an opinion on this? I would really appreciate your input!
I tried to contact Suzy, our exclusive authority, directly, but failed to attract her attention so far.

Didn't get a private message or how did ou try to contact me?
The additional package doesn't come with deviated stitching, but with decorative stitching. In other words, it's black stitching. Personally, I think it looks good. Too much deviated stitching can look a bit messy.
It's definitely more luxurious than the plastic. Personal opinion of course...

I had the opportunity to spend some time with the show car when it came to Canada. It was geyser and agate. The plastic on the dashboard appeared well integrated to my eyes. In black, I suspect it should look slightly better still. Just my thoughts.

Thanks, much appreciated. I assume you both, Sask and Suzy, are right. The car would be totally fine without the additional leather, not really a necessary option. And, on the other hand, it would look nice and the different kinds of stitching will most likely not create a mess on the dashboard. It will work both ways...
