Nethers66 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 This may divide opinion, in fact i'm not sure myself yet. I've an RS60 Spyder with the red interior and it is red ! In my 911 I had the wheel recovered in alcantara, i've done the same in the RS60 matching the red exactly is difficult so its a bit brighter, perhaps I should have gone for grey? Thoughts from the Boxster community appreciated p.s I've a spare original red leather wheel if i need to go back to original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I like it 👍 I think maybe a matching shifter and boot would help balance it out. It maybe worth asking if he could recover the airbag? I can’t decide what the grey would of looked like with the red airbag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_R Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Not for me, too bright against the rest of the interior imho. I recon it’d look good in grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entdgc Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Ouch! Sorry but I couldn't live with that colour mismatch. Grey to match the airbag might work though I would have kept the original leather wheel. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Red interior is perfect, it sure about the different red though, as others have said, perhaps grey to match the centre console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Sorry no; sticks out like a sore thumb. I think Grey would also be Too much pf a contrast. Would go back to the orginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnwright71 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi, Too mismatched for my tastes. I do think grey would work as long as it is a close match to the centre console, dial surrounds etc. Maybe some one could photoshop the wheel to show it in grey ?

toplad Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Have to agree with the mismatch comments You've got ox blood red with bright red. Match the grey if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911-32 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Red will also discolour over time where you hold the wheel. So another vote for grey. But, but, but... Who cares what we think - its your car. If you like it, its awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 i have the oxblood red interior with the red wheel, the leather has lost the colour at the 1-2 position - was wondering whether it can be recoloured, or should i bite the bullet and either get a black rim or retrim in grey like above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanhead Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 If you like it who cares? You'll always get different viewpoints. I personally would've got silver to match the centre console with a red top centre mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnwright71 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 IMHO, that looks much better in grey. Getting an exact match or even a match to the silver of the centre console will be even better. cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Fair point!!!! For me on my RS60, its standard all the way, you can't improve on perfection in my books!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickwall Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 How long do these last? I've always thought alcantara looks great new, but would quickly go horrible with accumulated dirt/sweat from hands etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
