Default Deviated Stitching anyone?

First time post but frequent visitor.

I'm in the process of ordering a midnight blue 2007 C4 coupe. I'm considering sand beige full leather interior with cocoa stitching or cocoa with sand beige stitching. Has anyone seen either? Any other suggestions? Also, the 2007 order guide lists deviated stitching available for seats, dash, door and door handle. Do I need to order deviated stitching for the door handle if I'm not ordering door finishers in leather? Thanks in advance for any advise.

Deviated stitching sounds nice.

Deviated Stitching is finally Available for MY07

The only deviated stitching colors I've ever seen are:
Red
Yellow
Blue

Do I need to order deviated stitching for the door handle if I'm not ordering door finishers in leather?
NO

How do you think Guards Red exterior with black full leather, deviated stictching in red with red PCM display, red center console, red air vent slats and carbon package would look?

I would skip the red PCM display and air vent slats.

Ditto, if you guys haven't seen it before on the 996 generation, painting PCM a bright colour really makes the interior too loud and gauché. Just my opinion.

Too much interior red, IMO.

Would be too much red for me Lori. You know I love the red (my color), but I don't like it in the interior.

I like deviating stitch. Red and blue are my favorites. I'd get stitching in darker color than the main surface if possible for easier cleaning. Only exception is when the interior is black.

Of course this is a very personal thing but I have to say that I have seen more BAD deviated stitching jobs than good ones. Be very careful when you pick your colors.

What are some examples of the more unusual stitchings?
