Help needed on some interior options for a 458 spider.

Black is best. Seriously, despite the heat.
Did you negotiate any discount on your coupe from dealer? Will you get any on the spider?

 

I could be wrong but the only colors that are "tri- layer" are variations of red or yellow. Black and white I think are also "tri layer" but I don't consider black a color, nor do I white. White or black work with almost any other color you can pick.

If you go with red, honestly only black, gray, white or a tan/brown will work.

If you go with yellow, black is your best choice followed by Cuoio.

That's all I can think of.

 

Black with red contrasting stitching would add the extra color you want. I know rather typical and classic, but for a reason, it's just cool.

I thought the engine recall affected only a small number of cars, none of which were 2012. And this is an old recall already taken care of some time ago. I hope this isn't some new recall. Does any one know of this recall?

 

Crema works well with red. There are some classic Ferraris in red with blue interiors. I have seen exterior yellow cars (Challenge Stradales) with red alcantara seats on yellow exterior. Yellow alcantara could work if you include lots of black. Seriously out there, but you asked for options, not personal preferences. Depending on red and your budget, what about custom dyed red leather that matches exterior red you choose? Then just put in some contrasting stitching to make interior interesting? Hope to hear what you do. Best

 

charcoal with red diamond stitching!

I saw a car just like this one at the SEMA show a year ago (metallic red with white interior).

Cultures are of course different but it didn't look very masculine in my book.

 

The other problem with white interior is the same problem that black exterior has. Hard to keep clean. One should plan to spend on regular detailing with white or light interior.

 

Yes, Iroko with red contrast stitching would look amazing.

 

I suggest Grigio Scuro or Iroko. Cheers!

 

Hi Mihirdhanak;

If the cost is no object, I would get:
Bianco fuji exterior/ chicolatto interior (dash + center tunnel + steering wheel) with beige chiaro stitching, carbonfiber sport pack, carbon fiber B pillars, carbon fiber rear bumper, racing seats and nero carpet. This interior spec is also doable with tri-layer yellow, if you want to have a bold car
I would also add leather strap on the middle of the racing seats OR if it is possible, get the racing seats in daytona style. And your spider will be unique in the whole Gulf area

 

How about 2 tone light grey with bordeaux, with the centre of the race seats and door panels in bordeaux and the door caps dash and seat bolsters in light grey, bordeaux alcantara carpets.

 

I would like to know with traffic in Dubai mostly heavy just about every where and endless bad drivers to contend with, where do you go to let the 458 beast loose? And of course avoiding the unlimited speed cameras and speed bumps is another inconvenience. Where and how do you enjoy the ferrari?

I'd like to know b'coz I want to get one.

 

Is the black "stellato" a triple layer color or just special mettalic?

 

i beg to differ.
i have had 2 black 430s and i am planning to order a black 458 spider.
i do recommend detailing a black car yearly to remove swirl marks.
but i find black no more difficult to keep clean than any other color.

 

Having had two black Fcars, I have to say, never a third. Maybe it depends on the weather where you live. For the Gulf, for all reasons a very bad idea.

 

Are you referring to a purchase on a brand new one?....I was told the price is MSRP with no negotiating.....
