    Blue is a colour I have always struggled with on Ferraris. I considered TDF on an FF, but just can't really connect with it on a Ferrari. It sort of looks good in theory, but when spec'ing a car or spending the months of looking at pictures ahead of spec'ing a car, I just can't do blue.

    Until I saw the Blu corsa, which is what I have gone with on my spider order. That colour is an easy choice. I have no idea why I can choose that colour so easily (my months of research went out the window as soon as I saw the blu corsa spider in the atelier) and not other blues.

    Blu electrico also looks good and, although I haven't seen it in person, I suspect I would have no problem choosing that if I were going to keep the car long and justify the cost.

    Just got this picture from the dealer. I ordered the car with all mat finish carbon fibre and full alacantara interior. Hopefully it will be here in about a month. It looks even better than I had hoped for.

    Mirabeau is not very popular and very understated, but there's actually nothing wrong with it. I think it just needs to be showed off more. More pics in direct sunlight.

    The previous owner was an Egham customer, and yes I like the wheels too!

    I specifically did not want a red Spider and love the understatement of Mirabeau. I think it's a classy colour and works well on the non-hardcore spec models. If the Spider had been a 458SA, it would have to have been red or yellow! :)

    The interior matches well too:

    I love the large carbon Race seats! (although that's probably saying more about my width than anything else lol!

    Looks great. Whoever specced it originally did a nice job. Get out and enjoy it before the English winter sets in!!

    I like Mirabeau. Blu Pozzi is also nicely understated but hard to keep clean looking, like black. How about TdF? Stands out in a sea of red.
