    Looks to be teal, or very bad light. Not my favorite...

    The quality of the photo is good & the light looks good to me. I'd say it's a special one-off color. I bet it looks stunning in person. But of course it's not as nice as TDF. :)

    That's because it's an out or range colour with an additional cost of £4.7k.

    Cheap! ;-)

    I tried the 458 last Saturday at HR Owen in London and it was in an amazing red.... The dealer told me it's a special 3 layer paint that costs "ONLY" £10K

    Sometimes I feel like their are taking the piss with some of the costs of the options

    Do you have any pics of your car with Fiorano paint? Gorgeous colour but obviously a "total" loss when you sell it i imagine...

    ACKKK!!! I think that's the one I saw a couple of weeks ago. This (photo evidence) confirms my opinion.
    To each, his own.....thankfully.

    Nice wheels, though, in my "be a better person persona!" But I'm still after those 'Stars' in 19s. Heard those P Zeros don't hold up from Rick.

    Looks like it's Avorio (flat cream from the 50s/60s range) rather than Grigio Ingrid which is a metallic with a greenish tint to it.

    Here is another Cali in Avorio for comparison.

    You are correct, the color was rather flat with out any metallic, basically a two stage paint job. I was trying to identify the color through the online color configurator, nuovo grigio ingrid was the closest color I could find.

    absolutely gorgeous. I love the dark non metallic red. I think its gorgeous. Much better than grey/silver or the traditional red ferrari rossa corsa

    Thanks Justin...as much as I thought I wanted the silverstone grey; after a couple of months I'm very happy with the Mugello...I don't think it will ever grow old or be too common. The only downside is like any dark non-metallic it looks unbelievable when it's clean, but quickly shows the dust. My wife talked me into it and I'm glad she did. Though it is about as far as I could go...I'm just not someone who could get to rosso corsa.

    Has anyone thought of having a metal shaper fabricate the small side vents in stainless brushed steel? would look awesome....

    Tempting idea. I am having a set made in carbon fiber by exotica-motorsports. The used to import the ones by Hamann but Hamann no longer distributes them to the US and they were really overpriced. Exotica is selling them for over 1000.00 less. I have mocked up my current vents with CF wrap and they look really good. We'll see what the real ones look like soon.

    I think that's a great idea. Like a throwback to the older models.

    Ferrari were supposed to be releasing a Vintage pakage which included these vents in brushed aluminium. They've had pictures of it in their quarterly magazine. Here's a pic from the old configurator showing the bright side vents, bright finish doors mirrors and windshield pillars.
