    Hey guys, this is driving me nuts.. I chose the Beige seats for my Italia and i'm trying to make up my mind on which color to choose for the carpets. Should I go with Castoro or Cuoio?
    which one looks better with Beige seats?
    Any real life pics between the two colors would greatly be appreciated!

    Hi, it depends on which effect you want to get in your car. Contrast? Same tone? Neutral? And it also depends on the color you chose for the leather dashboard... anyway for me the best carpet color to match beige seats is castoro. But if you want to have a neutral tone and highlight the seats i´ll go for grigio scuro. Cheers!

    Black is also very elegant.

    Black is the only color I'd go with.

    you are not alone.
    i am still undecided as to what color my future 458 spider should be.
    at least you can replace the carpet with a different color, should you change your mind!:D

    FWIW, I've had my 458 with cuoio carpets for about a week now and can tell it's going to be a challenge to keep the mats clean. I personally love the look of cuoio throughout, but am considering black mats to hide dirt better. Something to think about. If anyone has any good tips on cleaning/keeping clean these mats I'd love to hear them.

    I had my 458 coupe and now ordered spider with beige seats coming through with black carpets. Dash is black on top with lower half beige. I ordered and received thru F-chat black mats with small beige cavallino and beige stitching. The black carpets set off the beige seats and wear the best. (IMO) The subtly detailed mats add that little bit extra. Beige carpets are so far off from seats it looks green. Never saw either of the other "brown" carpets against beige. Good luck.

    I ordered cuoio seats with ciccolato dash and went with dark brown mats...unless you live somewhere where you are never going to get the mats dirty I would definitely stay away from light colors
