Fine stitching explanation please

I'm think of moving from my very fast but Spartan Noble M400 to the more luxurious V8V. I have the option lists, but can't find information on what some of them boil down to. I've searched here for a picture of the difference between "fine stitching" and (presumably) normal stitching, but it didn't pan out.

Can somebody point me to pictures showing the difference?

I'd also like to see a color-keyed steering wheel.

Thanks!

Jeff

Thanks, that looks very nice. Are the stitches are shorter than the standard offering?

hard to tell from the pics, but the fine stitching looks like it's about half as long as the regular.

Yes, the "regular" stitching is more coarse (bold) than the fine stitching. I've had fine and coarse stitching. My personal preference is for the contrasting color coarse stitching, which looks more "sports car" to me.

I sold my Noble back in spring and recently purchased a V8V. There is no comparison between the cars. I'd say own both since they are polar opposites.
