If you're keeping the car for you and not worried about absolute OEM authenticity - all a matter of personal taste.
Given you've got a chromie convertible - sounds like you have good taste.
FWIW I have tri-colour stitching on my Sport wheel in a non-mTech chromie convertible:


Blasphemy!

This is what's in my standard chromie convertible. It's worth an additional 10bhp at least.

For those that might be interested, for an OEM wheel - no fancy stitching, just black like the original wheel trim will have been, the price is £170.00
Cheers.

I think with the tech 1 wheel already having the 3 stripes, the coloured stitching is a little too far for me - but everyone should do what they want! If you think it looks cool go for it
