Of course! This isn't my first bezel rodeo. :lol: Fun fact, Bordeaux is not a Porsche paint color, so there is no paint code to match it like the other colors. I ended up getting a Bordeaux leather sample from Crazy Eddie and had it matched at my automotive paint shop. All these colors vary a bit based on what it's being applied to (white primer, black primer, etc.) but in its color chip form, this paint is a dead ringer for Bordeaux.... :clap:

Sweet, thanks for the effort. Love my bordeaux interior and this will make for a killer accent. Can’t wait.

Would like one in red for my 2018 718 GTS. Will get pic for avatar as the threat of someone better looking than me is just too much!

I would love to have one of these Dial Covers but I live in the US. Send me a e-mail on how you would like me to pay for postage and I'll send my address. Thanks.

Looking good. Is the color ok? It looks darker than the leather? The raw paint is a dead ringer for Bordeux, but both the clear and the dark grey plastic under it tend to make it look darker. I have a piece of Bordeaux here, and might experiment with light-colored primers, etc.
