The original blue stiching looks much better in comparasion plus it is the official color of FSport. However, it does look cool next to the matching interior!
Very original and create by the OP

With a similar car to the OP I completely understand the desire. Everything about my car is Red, Black and White so even though the key fob sits in my pocket it still feels like the odd duck out.

Not sure I have the desire to remedy the problem like you did though I commend you! Looks great!

Thanks for the comment... as a previous poster mentioned, I realize F-Sport is blue... but like you, it's an odd duck out, unless I just go out and buy the key-smart access card(which would be just a black rectangular device...

Very cool Johnny. More than being just time consuming work, it's the concept/idea behind it that I most appreciate.

That's a creative idea to change up the key fob stitching color, especially if it helps differentiate your two key fobs (for you & your wife). Appreciate you sharing all the pictures.

Definitely post if you deside to change the other one.

I personally think the original blue stitching looks better. I have ultra white with rioja red as well.

Since I have the Rioja Red interior I prefer the red stitched key glove which matches the red stitching in my car perfectly. But all of this is personal preference. I still have two of the blue ones as well like many of you but I'm one of only two people who have the red stitched F Sport key gloves.

That looks awesome plus given that my 3IS has red interior i found it odd that the remote covers had the blue thread. While the blue is nice looking, ill probably change now that i have seen what the OP has done.

Also thanks for share the links for the FSport key chain.
