    Very nice for a GT like the Cali T. Keep it without shields, looks a lot better that way.

    Nice spec.

    Made the mistake of forwarding to the missus and she is now suggesting a "Palm Beach" spec. Watch this space.

    Sounds like Azzuro California or Avorio and standing reservations at Renatos in that case.

    Beautiful but the only thing I would change is the calipers. The red is far from understated. I would do silver so it blends in with the wheels.

    I absolutely agree. I was going to say the same before I read your post. Go with silver calipers.

    Yes I take your point, but the thinking was that the calipers are a fun detail and since there is already some red on the car (rear lights) having red was a fun way to highlight the calipers whilst using a color that is already present on the car.

    Yes exactly. We specced out an azurro cali with crema interior, but I prefer the first spec I posted.

    Agree this is a great color, but a little too much zing for the understated look I think.

    Very nice. I am partial to the chocolate/iroko interior, if you can convince the wife to go in that direction (yeah, I know, I've been married almost 17 years; doesn't happen very often! 😃). I would suggest a lighter color stitching to make the diamond pattern "pop"...T

    I saw an Azzurro California 456M recently. It's a stunning color. Likewise, for Azzurro Monaco...T

    Brown cholocato is a tough color interior on resale.

    Why do you think that is? I think it's such a rich and elegant color.

    My personal bias makes me add avorio to the list of colors that go well with chocolate interior. 😃 Agree on the diamond stitching with cioccolata and iroko interiors.

    Because I owned a 458 with Cholocato and it took me forever to sell it. The feedback was the same from everyone that looked at buying it - from dealers to private parties - the interior was nice but very specific to a small subset of certain buyers - as opposed to the more common colors like black or beige. (luckily I found a buyer and adjusted the price to make it even more attractive - but even he balked about the color and was uncertain). Also, look at any car for sale with chocolato interior and you will see they are typically priced lower than average.
