Add some color to interior

I just swapped my beige interior for black and I am happy as a clam. Wife thinks car is now to somber (carbon leather trim) so I was looking for suggestions. I thought maybe a red boot and handbrake change but few choices for dct owners. I could go brushed aluminium but not sure I want that. One option is a red and black carbon fiber wrap on trim.

Anyway, can i see pics of what you all have done. Thanks

Bimmian has some color piping that you insert in to the panel seams, such as the center console, and the dash contours. Maybe something like that?

Garage List
I originally had the wood trim & changed it out.

I too thought that all black in the interior was kinda monotonous...

I used the CF Leather trim for the door panels (doesn't show nicks from seat belts), and the Brushed Aluminum Trim for the Dash & Front/Rear Consoles (I have the BMW Performance CF Front/Rear Console trims on hand in case I ever get tired of the aluminum).

I also have quite a few of other dash panels custom wrapped with real CF/cleared - such as radio surround, cup holder trim, light switch trim, keyhole trim, overhead console trim, door handle escutcheons, dash vents, center dash speaker/vent, & shifter trim.

The brushed aluminum trim is a nice contrast to the CF. I use the GTS Embroidered Leather Handbrake & Tri-stitch Handbrake Boot from IND, BMW Performance Shift Knob/Alcantera Boot, Performance Alcantera Blue Stripe DCT Wheel with CF Trim.

Maybe the custom mats from iND? They are really nice and add a subtle pop of color.

I'd do red boots with matching red piping carpets. Personally, I love Bamboo Beige though, such a gorgeous combo with the right exterior.
