    Thanks for the post. Always :) happy to hear from you. I am in a black interior phase. My GT3 RS, QP, 599 and 430 LP are or will all be plain black - no highlight stitching. My RS is green and my QP is Bianco Fuji. I think Argento N'ring will be the business! Of course power Recarros. Calipers are presently Rosso Scuderia but I will change them to silver upon arrival. Car is in shipment now and will arrive August 1. Will probably get my 430 LP in white

    if it was my car, it would be rosso rubino over cream w/ bordeaux carpet and stitching, chalenge wheels, with yellow tach and calipers, no question. i love the look of that car in dark red...

    take a look at my thread

    Go to first new post 599 Painintg the rear diffuser in body color

    have pics in Rosso Corsa, Scuderia is very 2004 as DM18 mentions. It is still a F1 color but easy to scratch, very sensitive color. In Corsa you can just buy a touchup and fix the flying pebble scratch. More difficult in Scuderia.

    Waooooo she's beautifull the way I ordered it !!!!
    Thanks for the fake !!!!

    In my parking there's a guy with a red 430 and titanium wheels it's a wonderfull combo (when the car is clean...) and a rosso fiorano (rubino?) 360 Challenge..

    So right now I'm hesitating between a Rosso Fiorano with Cuio interior, or keep current spec...but I do agree for the Black Hole Interior I really want to avoid that feeling.... but black wheels with bright interior will look very Funky in a Ronald Mac Donald way....

    Anyway to everyone, thanks a lot for your input, I'm still hesitating ...

    pour les francais :

    elle vient pas de chez pozzi mais de chez Squadra Modena dans le 16eme ;)

    My High School French is all but forgotten so I won't even try :)

    Anyway, the classiest/prettiest color I've seen on the 599 is the red that the factory used when it introduced the car: Rosso Monza. Only problem is it is super expensive to order, will probably delay the car and will be difficult to match if repairs are necessary.

    Check this thread for Rosso Monza:
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139993&highlight=430+rosso+rubino

    As an alternative you could try Rosso Fiorano or Rosso Rubino (a bit darker than RF).

    I am partial to Rosso Fiorano, obviously (see pics of my current car), but when I get a 599 my first choice will be RF with a two tone sabbia/cuoio interior. Check this link for a 430 with my dream color combo on a 599:
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126063&highlight=430+rosso+rubino

    As for the black wheels, in my humble opinion, they just look dirty. The mirrors would look sharp in carbon fiber, though.

    My second choice for my dream 599 would be yellow on cuoio; just for the nostalgic value of yellow. If I really wanted to make things complicated, I would have the factory match the new scuderia color being used on the F1 cars in the last few races.

    Just my 2 Francs...errr...Euros worth. :)

    I agree with 410sa that darker colors work better on the larger cars. I'm not a fan of red 612s and 599s. Below is a model we built for a client in "Monza Red" - the same color they launched the car in - kind of a burgundy metallic, which is really stunning.

    A Dubai il y a un allemand qui possède une superbe Rubino/tan. Le rendu final est très beau, très dolce vita, venise et co. Je dois remettre la main sur les photos.
