    I ordered an F12 in Silverstone grey with Cuoio interior this weekend and can't decide on the grill. The chrome grill is classic Ferrari, but I think matte may look better, especially with my color combo. Any thoughts on the chrome grill option for the F12?

    Go with standard and then if you dont like it, change it later, and also try painting standard one. I would..

    I would go for the standard grill with your color config.

    Best.

    I'd go with the black plastic, rather than the chromed plastic. The chrome look is more elegant than black, which is more sporting, but at the end of the day, it is chromed plastic. If it was real chrome, then I'd consider.

    In my humble opinion: chrome = old guy in a Corvette.


    So, no.

    Looking at the two cars in my avatar I will agree, no chrome next time for me.

    I used to be a fan of chrome. Aston had the option on my Vantage and I went for chrome but I saw one at the dealer in matte black and I now much prefer that instead.

    Depends on what your other specs are. if you have the black accent under the mirror and maybe darker rims then go for the matte black. Would be a good match. I would only take the chrome grill if it was a lighter chassis colour tone where the front doesnt beg for attention to that spot.

    Black. No contest.

    Then you can also powdercoat the logos if you want to make it even more sporty.

    I agree about the contrast with the chrome on black. Saw a Canadian 348 tb SS that was black with a black interior. That 348 was delivered with the 'chrome look' front grill. Certainly gives a unique look to the car; especially with the opinion trend here in favor of the black grill.
