Menoporsche Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 IMHO, don't like the greys, I don't see what it matches with in the rest of the interior. The centre console, like the outside of the car, is silver. All that is needed is to take the new red wheel down a few notches. Simply, it should be the same colour as the carpet. Must be some sort of dye that can do that in 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 This was the rage for a couple of months but beware it's very abrasive, ultimately should be used only once or twice in a product's life IIRC. Might get the same effect with some fine Wet and Dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a bit more thickness, maybe thumb rests and match it to my interior. It's the one thing that's annoyed me since I bought the 987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - I'd always try a vigorous scrub with some warm car soap and clean micro fibre cloths first. Always try the softest possible cleaning before building up to the most aggressive.

spyderclub Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 how about the red alcantara like what they used in the gt2rs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfway Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Love the red but to me Porsche always goes to far with the red ( it’s like if you asked a child to paint the inside of the car ) Needs to have black as a contrast like Bmw do .ie carpet / half the door trim etc and black steering wheel just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
