    Hello,
    What's the color of this interior? Still thinking about the shade of brown for my interior.
    Thanks!

    Cioccolato is the color I believe for his leather choice.

    See post number 1 in this thread for comparison of various leather shades to!

    Cioccolato, but beware, the color is much darker in real life AND it varies greatly depending on lighting conditions.

    Love the black stripe too! Plenty of green over tan 812’s so the stripe sets it apart well.

    Congrats! Your spec is beautiful. What color stitch did you select?

    The carbon Atelier sill plate is very nice and with the prancing horse in green; a lovely detail there! Thanks for sharing your wonderful build specification here.

    So I got the call on Thursday evening that my GTS allocation is ready to go and I quickly need to finalize my spec. Having gone through the Atelier process, I thought I was pretty well set until I read about @soulsea ‘s tribulations and now I am wrecked with second-guessing. I thought I might hit the brain trust up for some collective feedback. I’ll attach my build renders and spec sheet below. I am set on Verde Abetone for my exterior color, but I have numerous other areas of concern:

    1). Do I go Iroko or Cuoio? My current 812SF has Cioccolato, and I love it. There’s a chance I might keep that car, so I didn’t want to go Cioccolato on the GTS. I wanted to go lighter, but Cuoio makes me a little nervous because it can lean orangish from one leather batch to another. Iroko is mostly pure milk chocolate, so that mitigates the risk of the hue wandering. I am probably overthinking this.

    2). Do I go contrast stitch, or matching stitch? I have a contrast stitch on my 812SF right now, and I love it. Probably, don’t need to reinvent wheel here, but I am not firm on this variable. For now, I have chosen STC2 in Biege Chiaro 1209.

    3). Do I go GTS wheels or TDF wheels? I have TDF wheels on my 812SF. I was all set on the diamond GTS wheels until I saw the CDF painted TDF wheels (thanks @soulsea ).

    4). Do I go yellow or black calipers? I am leaning black calipers, which means I would likely go to a carbon center cap in lieu of the standard yellow. I am looking for a more understated exterior.

    5). Am I missing any vital equipment? One thing I noticed right away, is that the option for “leather headliner” is not showing on build sheet despite my specific request to include it. Having read accounts of other GTS specs, I know this to be an important item. Because that component is missing, I began to wonder, what else might be missing? I am trying to do all carbon exterior (except for the engine bits), all carbon interior (except for the full door panel).

    Worth noting, my SA insists that Ferrari does not have a full 87 page order guide for the GTS like it had for the SF. This has complicated the process greatly. I don’t want to screw up the interior by forgetting a piece of leather or two, or missing out on a cool custom feature. I managed to mess up my basic STO spec by doing a stripe in alcantara rather than leather and it threw the entire interior off.

    Love the renders. If it were me though, I would TDF wheels rather than GTS wheels, diamond cut or matte CDF would be amazing. Black calipers instead of yellow, the painted shields is enough of a pop. Tonal stitching instead of contrast. Cuoio rather than Iroko.

    This Terra Bruciata (TB) from a GTS on Pistonheads looks cool. I’m going with the same daytona style in TB for my 296GTS with Verde Medio Opaco exterior.

    I initially considered Terra Bruciata, but to my eye, it leans a little reddish. I definitely prefer the Cuoio, I just know that Cuoio can lean orangish depending on the batch of leather. Iroko is about the only base leather that never seems to have its hue wander. That said, I really wanted a stronger contrast to the Cioccolato that’s in my 812 SF in the event that I end up keeping both cars.

    Was part of the appeal for Verde Abetone that it is a non-metallic paint? The original title here Verde British is rather appealing as a green paint...
    I think you missed the pictures but dark green with a black interior in leather and alcantara with dark brown inserts on those seats with white stitching looked amazing, especially compared to the cuoio on post 51 page 3 here with NO contrast stitching. Came across as rather 'flat' by comparison.
