I definitely like the red contrast stitching. I would have to see what the red diamond inserts look as a whole. I wish my interior had a amaretto contrast stitching to match my amaretto seat piping.

Red Alcantara on the doors. Red inserts in the seat with the same stiching.

Nice work. Don't know if it helps, but you can also look at D4 S8 Exclusive interior option first offered for The S8 Plus for exemplars. Black w/ Arras Red stitching option. Your work reminds me of it immediately. You have it further punched up w/ the red alcantara. That package gets to integration with the wood bits too, beyond the now well worn std. carbon fiber. I have the Vermont Brown package instead as what I think of akin to the D3 Amaretto descendent. Audi continues to do some really nice high end interiors. Good to see you are using skill and creativity on a to be classic in D3.

Yes, red leather inserts w/ embroidered S8 logo (not to big though).

Looks great!
Reminds me of the interior in an ALMS TT I had.
Can't wait to see more pics....

Not sure what you are asking. It's a top grain out of California. I believe it originated in Italy so no barbed wire marks.
