Grigio Medio 458

Nothing nice to say so....interesting find!

Ya know, I was waiting to reply to see what others had to say. I feel a bit conflicted on this car because I love the color and I love the car. I'm not sure I love them together. The color seems too muted somehow for the 458's shape.

 

+1 on the above comment about muting the color. I love the 458 but the color sort of looks like a primer, although a shiny one. The two grays(body color and wheels) do nothing for each other. The inside however, I absolutely love. It reminds me of an awesome baseball glove I had.

 

This car is absolutely stunning in person! I'm not a big fan of the sport wheels...the standard 20"s are the best, IMO and the dark chrome finish is a nice compliment to the exterior.

 

I didn't like this car on the other forum and oddly enough I don't like it here either!

That interior would grow old in no time!

But to each his own

 

The exterior color fits the car perfectly, it makes it look expensive!
Even the interior is beautiful, and well thought. The car is very elegant!

The only flaw are the wheels, I don't like chrome on Sports Cars,
but those are easily changed

Amazing how the tastes differ . . .

I saw this car at Ferrari of Denver when it was delivered. It looks like just primer instead if paint. IMHO. Not a fan. I have the rossa corsa so might be a little biased

 

I like it, would like it more if it was darker.

 

Interesting interior. I don't think I've seen daytonas done like that before.

 

That interior is just ghastly!

 

The 'baseball glove' comment reminds me of another Ferrari. Back about 1998 a Michigan Ferrari owner custom ordered a new 355 belinetta. He chose silver for the exterior color and a special brown Ferrari color for the interior which they called 'baseball glove'.

The Stradale inspired 458 interior is a more successful match of dual interior colors. The Denver 458 looks like the exterior and interior colors where chosen by two different people.

Well, as it's nobody's car here.... that just does not do it for me! Not the exterior or interior do I find appealing.

Sorry... each to their own!

 

love the colour combo inside out but not on a 458, would look lovely on california

 

Still thinking about Rosso Fiorano then, for the 458 Spider?

How did you guess?

Well, I have a couple of years to worry about it. But, for sure, I would not paint the care non-metallic gray!

 

Just wait until this car comes back in trade. We'll see how "stunning in person" it is then. I think we all can say "big depreciation."

 

The interior is horrible. The Grigio Medio in person is gorgeous. BUT... It needs black wheels, black calipers, shields and a black interior with charcoal stitching. There are pics of this color with those treatments somewhere on here, but I can't find them. The car looks great when done that way.

 

Grigio Medio outdoors but no dark wheels...

going to be rough to sell.

 

Why is that? Some may like it. I think it looks pretty nice, add dark wheels, and it should pop even more.

I think I should reserve my judgement till I see one in person though

 

Anyone else notice the no side markers? Is this an euro car?

 

The rear bumper seems to have side markers!
Probably, the front bumper is a Euro version,
or they simply cleaned it and repainted it . . .

Are you speaking of the front turn signal? If so, it's there...this is a 100% US spec 458, no aspect of this car has been modified from the factory.

edit...I think Ronnie Renaldi photoshopped the signals out of the photo.
