Default Change or Not ?

Had a bit of a rethink the other day, im wondering if ive made the wrong decision with the new steering wheel. The car is black interior with brushed alluminium trim, an i went for a two colour steering wheel. So should i change back to a black wheel ?

I would change it so you can send that wheel to me, I'd happily have it on my car which has the same interior and exterior colour as yours. I love it!!

Something I'd do if it were in my car would be to dye the plastics on the wheel black to match the dash. The wheel came from a car with a cream interior with black top dash so the plastics around the wheel are matching and the black leather is an accent colour. Something like...



Sorry lazy photoshop, used a bad match but you get the point

Sasha, the steering wheel controls are original to the car, that column bit possibly would suit blacking out.

In which case I have a black steering wheel from my 2008MY car and a goat I adopted in Somalia to trade for it Oh and a bacon butty, cooked however you want it

Perhaps dye the sides of the auto gear lever cream to match?? Let me work on that for you!!
