Interior Color with Guards Red
I just placed an order for a Guards Red Turbo Cab. I am upgrading from an '07 C2S Cab in Guards red with black interior. I'm still up in the air regarding the interior and would appreciate any advise as I have a couple of weeks left before it has to be finalized. I was set to go with either a black interior or the black/beige with some CF. The salesman convinced me to go with a cocoa top and interior. I haven't seen this combination other than in pictures and although it sounds reasonable I'm still a bit skeptical. In place of the CF we've put the Makassar wood on the steering wheel, shifter, brake and the cup holders.
Other options include, supple leather on std. seats, Porsche crest in headrests, door entry in SST, sport crono and tiptronic. My C2 is a manual and I had not considered the Tip until I drove a C2 with it (and besides that the wife STRONGLY suggested the tip so she could drive it). I'm sure I'll get some useful advise here also.

NO WOOD!!!
IMO, I would go with the Natural brown/black interior. black upper dash with Nat. Brown everywhere else. If you want to get real crazy, I LOVE the painted seat backs in red.
But IMO, Carbon looks the best with anything. The wood is for a Mercedes.

No wood; order black full leather with lower dash and upholstery in natural brown. There are a few mid and lower door panel parts that should also be in the deviating color (natural brown). You might also want to think about deviating carpets in natural brown if you prefer less contrast.
This would be stunning with red!

Agreed with the others, no wood, wood just doesn't look good in a TT.

Black top with black interior with full red stitching will look really sharp!

Just be sure to add CDZ so that you'll have stitching on the gear shift trim

Red seatbacks, either EGA or DAD gear shift/ebrake handle. It's the only way to get deviated stitching on the gear shift boot/ebrake handle cover because it falls under the exclusive options category which option code 09991 covers.

Thanks to everyone who commented - it is very helpful and confirms my original thoughts. The pictures were particularly good. I'm going back to my original thinking - black or black/beige or black/natural with CF.
