Looking good, just bought the enamel paint yellow and black to do the same. And also the alcantara gaitor with yellow stitches is on the way for delivery.

Planning to color the seat stripes in yellow with leather paint.

Looking forward to your finished central console with yellow ones done

The incredible amount of shaping that went into that area is amazing. What a piece of design work.

Reinstalled the centre panel with yellow switch and with the new yellow stitched gaiter.

I’m pretty happy with his it’s starting to look.

Looks great but did the aluminum trim always have the scratch on the right side? Or maybe it is a hair

Very nice

I really like this. I wish they would have just went with yellow from the factory. Matched to exterior paint color would have been a cool option too. Perhaps they'll do that on Chapman spec cars.

Small scratch… not sure where/when from but I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last one!

I used this paint. It goes on quite thin so I did about 6 coats and it came out well.

I think it’s a good match for the callipers however the seat belts are a yellowier / deeper shade. So ideally I’d have potentially used a different shade.

That is so sad that it was a welded piece... cheap design aspect!

I agree it looks cheap and it could have been a great option to have something better like a Lambo Huracan. I would remove it if I was sure it wouldn't leave some damage showing. I looked at the link to the other buttons but it is just the button and not the cover.

I would imagine any mod like this wouldn’t look as good as having stitched, I hope I’m wrong. Have you considered having the steering wheel removed and taking it to be professionally done? I wonder what that would cost.

Someone Jimblob actually painted their alcantara steering wheel to have the yellow centerline stripe! Post for reference

What did you do to your Emira today?

Third cat delete! With the valve closed or factory not much is different , maybe 5% TO 10% LOUDER, BUT WITH IT OPEN...... OMG It's def louder in a good way.

Edit: I totally missed the fact it was also Jimblob!

From what I've read you can use non marking gaffer's tape.
