One suggestion ,the steering cover can be changed to the seat cover color or remove the steering cover as its old and its not neatly put up.

Just wanted to inform all on this thread that this color is neither orange/red. It is called English Red, a factory/original color when the 123 series was in production. Very few opted for it but it is definitely genuine. A very rare color indeed.
