Interior touchup

[tiantang]

The cabin could do with some touch-up. How would people approach the below?

Problem: Bits of silver metal (e.g. door leaver and gear knob) have worn off and show the black colour underneath?

My thoughts: Use some arctic silver touch up paint that came with the car. My concern is that the colour won't quite look the same? Does anyone know a way to get the exact colour match (without taking of the handles/gear knob!)

Problem: Leather on the stearing wheel is worn and has some small scuffs

My thoughts: Use some dye. I see lots of US online shops selling this stuff. Any recommendations for the UK? What about the scuffs (i.e. indents), any sort of filler available?

Find a good smart repair guy to repaint and refurb the parts as required. Well worth paying to get it right.

I ended up buying a brand new OE wheel on eBay, which made a HUGE difference to the feel and appearance.

Otherwise, these guys seem to have a very good reputation for re-trimming steering wheels but you may struggle to get a match for some of the more obscure interior colours.

All - thanks for the tips. Will buy a new steering wheel and get the garage to install.

Any recommendations for shops on touching up the inside leather and/or centre consoles in central London?

Keen not to spend a fortune repainting all of the inside.

Buying a new wheel / airbag unit from Porsche is massively expensively. I'd suggest shopping around but make sure you get something genuine.

It's straightforward to remove the old and fit the new wheel, there's a guide on the forum somewhere....
