ETA: early June

I've been a bit disappointed by the auburn brown as I thought is was more red than it is actually... Therefore my choice here for the Terracotta... but I'd keep it black... or change to Amethyst (well, that's my choice so a bit biased 
)
Now for the steering wheel, the sport one comes with the silver parts, the ///M one does come all black... and that's the way we like it, right?

I'd prefer the Auburn, as it looks a little red in natural light and would very nicely go with the color of the car.
Hey - do u have a bigger pic of your ride?

But to be honest, you have to see it with your own eyes to make up your mind... as I said: auburn is a bit too brown for my own taste, so well terracotta would bring some more light into the car... hence my choice
