I made the change. My car has a beige console and the rest of the interior is black.

Looks better and more importantly it will feel great, unfortunately nothing can really save that interior though

I hate the M-Sport wheel. Its too smooth. Feels like fake leather. I miss my V's Alcantara wheel, but I sure ain't spending a grand for an M-Performance one.

Keep an eye out in the classified ads. I got mine for $500 in practically new condition from another member locally. Still steep, but certainly a lot easier to swallow than $1K

Looks awesome, I'm sure you're loving it.

The MSport wheel is one of my favorite things about my F32
