Now I'm not so sure about the colour! I would have said that your tan and sabia are avorio and the avorio bianco!

I've been busy doing the steering wheel. Coming up nicely

Colour gamut anyone?

Good luck and hope it doesn’t flake like the one I did first time and had to redo.

I won’t do a steering wheel again, far too much contamination and a hard wear area

The lights in the workshop are terrible to photograph.

Before you even add the colour balance of whatever you used to take the photo and the monitor on which it is being displayed.

Fingers crossed.

I'm taking my time doing it. Definitely needed doing.

Flappy paddles need doing aswell, but will be trickier.

Take them off. It's easy

I'd assumed the airbag would have to come out? Are they just screwed into the back of the wheel? So just electrical connectors and a few screws?

The paddles have two allen screws. No need to remove the switches. You can turn the wheel to access them with some short allen wrenches. Airbag removal not required

From a QP/Coupe/Spyder/GS brochure; the colour rendition will depend on your screen settings, but it will give you an idea of the leathers on offer at the time:

Having the Bentley done today he says squirming on his seat ( over the next 2/3 days in fact ) all the leather cleaned and dressed , few parts of the rear parcel shelf where the convertible roof meets are discoloured and in some places on the door cards so he will be addressing and colour matching it in , must admit a little concerned about the black stitching and the head rest logo's in black stitching , he says no problem he can mask it off so pinkies well and truly crossed ...............have really good local reports about this guy but still feel like a guinea pig

I seem to be in the minority of having an Avorio dash top, looks nice, but reflects terribly! Better with polarising sunglasses on but still miming and erring about a black dash top

Fortunately for me I have that black leather dash top , interior is 85% cream leather with piano black glove box and centre console and black stitched carpets , the OCD in me hates leaving the top down when i park it up , ( like walking down the high street in light coloured trousers when you dribble after visiting the mens ) its on show for all and sundry to see

Just had the first pic

Well a rather large box arrived from Furniture clinic today, enough for the lifetime of the car lol

Looks on the face of it to be a good colour match, I took leather from the panel behind the arm rest (excess from the edges).

The front passenger seat is the one that needs attention, wish me luck lol
