Ferrari 812 Carbon exterior or not?

Since you have the yellow notes inside the car , I think you could go for the yellow callipers to have a consistent grigio / giallo combination...
GS is a very good choice, far better in reality than in the pictures from the configurator.
I also think your choice for carbon is good, with some light colors I am disturbed by the painted diffuser, but not with GS.
Whatever you chose that you like, congrats

Your combo is fabulous, I strongly suggest Silver or black calipers . I absolutely love the standard wheels in grey.

 

That's personnal, but I'vse seen many grey ferraris with silver calipers and they look perfectly natural in a grey environment...

You see them, but they don't pop up too much like yellow ones . That picture bellow is my fetish, my favorite. Color is canna di fucile with special order color match for the wheels. The general theme of grey body and grey wheels is similar to you

My preference is no CF exterior bits, but I think with your spec it would look great. I don't like the painted side sills and bumper because it makes the design look heavier- at least to my eyes- something it does not need! So its personal preference. I suggest rather than grey wheels go with the diamond finished wheels. And then I would do silver calipers. Silver calipers will compliment the car and also it will work with the CF and the diamond wheels. For interior, since you are doing black/ yellow, make sure to do the horses on the headrests in yellow.

I don't want to inject my own preferences too strongly, but while black will work just fine with GS, for me at least, I would want something more special than "just" black leather, something found on so many cars. I also think GS on the 812 comes off as a "warm" color and black usually comes off to me as either neutral or slightly cool. I would be tempted to pare it with Cuoio leather and maybe Grigio Chiaro stitch- echoing the warmth of the GS.

 

I think it is a beautiful spec! I would do painted exhaust surrounds and carbon diffuser. Changed our spec to reflect that change myself!

Regarding the calipers, I prefer the grey over silver caliper although black will be nice as well. I love the carbon center caps!!!

CdF is darker than GS, right?

 

Absolutely

 

I went with GS exterior, black wheels, yellow calipers, black diffuser, black pipes, black interior with racing seats and grey stitching, no carbon exterior, all carbon interior to darken the inside to match. Fingers crossed!

 

So true the configurator doesn’t do GS justice. I almost went for GS matte...couldn’t pull the trigger

 

I am configuring my 812 now w the same color combo ... I chose the black caliber, dark grey rims, carbon center, black shields, yellow stitching and no carbon fiber on the exterior... my 488 has carbon fiber on the front, on the back and on the defuser but u cannot really notice it

Good to know I backed out of the carbon exterior 488 Spider and always wondered if I should of...

 

Let us know what you go with finally!

 

Mr Joe, no offense, but I think that car deserves a little more contrast. It looks great in the light -- lots of highlights dancing off those great lines, but it's the light that's creating the contrast in the grab from your build. If the car is in ever in a shadow (overcast?), it's washed out, monochrome central.

 

I spec’d the Tdf wheel and feel very right! I like the look better. And I believe it may be lighter.

here is the photos of my 812 that has arrived, gonna go pick it up this week. we have similar taste and i think this could give u some idea. i didnt do exterior carbon just because its expensive to replace later if gets damaged .before seeing the car i hate the matt gray/black exterior parts. but after seeing it in person it looks alright..goes well with the whole car since GS gives the car such aggressive look. also did the yellow caliper and inside stitchings as well. all black interior but with some alc touchs cause i like the feel of it. also have the seatbelt in yellow so i didnt go for the yellow straps interior, felt like it would be too much of yellow.(do considering wrap the matt parts in black, but im scare it will ruin the look). i hope this can help in some sort of way.

Congrats!

 

If a carbon option is available for the front inlet area (or mouth) then I would take it.
I dislike (to put it mildly) the amount of plastic/fibreglass in that area on a car of this level and price tag. SImilarly the diffuser. It looks cheap. I address those items first myself. Just my 2c.

 

congrats well done
