I suggest you live with the interior a while then decide if you want to calm the beige a bit options would be get a retrimmer to add some black to the tops of the door cards to match the two tone dash , not sure about painting the centre console on a 991 but you could look at different colour seat belts that mod is only about £37 a corner and can massively lift the interior. , Is the steering wheel black or beige again a retrimmer can help maybe add a coloured section at the 12 o'clock position to match with coloured seatbelts. there loads you can do to break up a beige interior . :thumb: :thumb:

Location makes a massive difference to colour as well. After spending most of winter down under, I was shocked to note that older 911's look better there than they do here. They seem to be clearer, and shinier than here. Now I don't think for one second that my compatriots are better at keeping cars in tip top condition(but it's probably true as we are better at most thing than you lot are :grin
, but light strength and angle can really change the colours.
I agree 100000000000% that dash tops should always be dark for reasons stated earlier. I googled the interior you mentioned and it looks very classy in my book. The contrast isn't in your face as a solid one would be. I'd say that is a config for the Arab states as they love that sort of thing.
Rest easy in your choice it will be easy to live with. This coming from a bloke who's interior resembles a dark chocolate birthday cake, and I love it to bits.

^^^^^ My beige mats are turning black over winter, they are the nicest looking least practical floor mats every created.
Congratulations from the slower NA camp! First post from me - hi everyone. Just picked up a Basalt 991.1 C4S with the same combo; I was a bit worried about the beige but the mechanical spec was more important to me. Difficult to find - the end of a 2 year search . For me, I would want to go a bit 'blacker', maybe a black armrest to continue the black console but I'm splitting hairs there - £250 for an armrest lid - may be not! But the black dash, black mats and top half with deviated stitching look good to me. Last car was a 535d grey on black and the new contrast is a welcome feature. BTW nobody told me a C4S could be as comfortable as a 5 series touring MSport - that was a bonus I never expected! Phenomenal cars! Will need to reduce file size of a pic to post...

They look a bit out of place and forgotten with the colour scheme.
They might not be so bad in real life, but noticeable in a photo.

Nice. That's exactly the trim i specced on my 981 i loved it (racing yellow exterior), as above the black is needed not least to stop reflections. I found i did needed to clean the seats quite regularly, as a jean wearer! it was a DD.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
