That's a shame; as you know my car is the same colour as yours in and out.
Coming from a Grey (Agate) with Platinum predecessor, which I really liked, I wasn't sure about the cream, though I loathe black interiors.
But over time I've realised it goes very well with the paint colour and I've grown to like it.

Your dash is presumably a boring grey-brown colour. If you want it darker why not investigate having it fully leather trimmed, which can probably be done in situ (with the "wood" trim removed of course). There are a handful of cars like that and it looks superb.

The "wood" trims can of course be replaced without huge difficulty. Some people have I think carbon-wrapped them but that (to me) seems inappropriate for this car.

Yes, exactly that colour which I think is the same as yours.

I had thought about a flocked or leather wrapped dash but would it need to be removed anyway? If like you say they can be done in situ then I will look into this.
