    Not sure of the colour though. Is this Fuoco? Notice how the front has been painted behind the prancing horse.

    After uploading I've just noticed the photo compression has ruinned the colour. It looks brighter in the pic I have on my computer. I found it on the ********* forum if anyone wants to see the original.

    Careful with that site, team speed. I got a trojan warning the last time I tried it.

    That looks BEAUTIFUL! Is the painted area on the front a factory option?

    This color look familiar to Michael Fux's cars. I'm guessing this one is his as well considering the interior is all white.

    I have no problems with that site but I do use a mac so viruses are not really a problem.

    The inside rear view mirror was painted to match the exterior color. I wonder what else got painted for the interior trim...

    I like the front being body color. It's more interesting than the black I think.

    One thing you can do with the body color like this... order it from the factory and then look at it. If you don't like it, it's easy to paint it black. Doing the reverse though is difficult.

    After seeing the pic I was about to ask what colour trim it was, anybody have any pics of how white this is or in another model, or is it a special order.

    Well I just visited there and no problems for now... In fact, they have a very, very nice collection of pictures of the 458 in many colours. Lots of nice pictures and new/unusual colours, what else could I ask for as an addict to our "Official 458 Pics Thread"? Check this out:

    The painted frontal area does make it look like it's sporting a moustache. I still like it though.

    Anyone know what the colour is?

    They were going to call it the 458 Dal-italia.

    How long do you think it will be before the Japanese and Korean's copy the mustache somehow?

    My guess --- 6 months.
