Hi

iwas going to get some JCW leather downtubes with the red sticking cause i felt it'd match well with the GP seats but lately i've come up with another idea, get the CF downtubes and fit the CF bottom part to the JCW steering wheel. What so you think?? I felt that the silver dash would go with the silver parts of the MFSW and then the CF downtubes would match with the bottom part of the steering wheel. Am i going mad

!

I'd say go with the Leather; but it wouldn't look right without the dash to go with it.
So get the Carbon Fibre..............If you must.......otherwise leave it as it is!!

I love the look of both but think the CF will get scratched and chipped easier so I am leaning towards the leather.

it looks good but i wouldnt personally do it

but i'm really liking the downtubes, i think i could be swaying for CF downtubes.
