Default Extended leather fanatics rejoice at my mistake...

After months of searching, I bought a full set of extended leather pieces (console, panels, 997TT ****, ebrake and OEM console) thinking they were sand beige. Well, they're not but rather natural brown. Damnit, and I'm stuck with these.

Any takers?

Those seem to be for cabriolet or targa.

yes - but you can cover that opening with a piece of matching leather easily.

Assuming it’s going into a natural leather car, you can use the leather from the second extra arm rest to match.

Wish you would have received black! I did the same thing. Spent $450 on a x97 shift **** that looked black. Nope. Cocoa.

Man, so sorry to hear @hexagone . I hate to hear of your folly, but I must admit as I read the original I hoped you were gonna say cocoa.

And I missed an X97 in cocoa?!?! That's on the interior improvement bucket list.

I’m potentially interested can you shoot me a picture of the various bits and their condition via PM and we can go from there? Thx

It was 3-4 years ago.

You could also use these to give a drab black interior a jolt of color since all the needed pieces are there to match.
