Well I've decided to leave it as is, in fact I think it's probably the best combination exactly as it is now, because......
All of the original "mid-brown" wood trim is surrounded by the grey-brown plastic throughout the car, which looks generally low-key.
The wood trim is actually 5MX which the A8parts list decodes as "Birds Eye Maple Light": http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Audi-Pa...r-Audi-A8.html
The brighter Vavona switch panels are surrounded by paler beige leather/alcantara which makes a pleasant contrast.
The more I look at it the nicer I think it is.
