Got the call--Need to pick an interior

Take the new 360 (when will it be ready?), then ditch your old one before prices plummet (like they're said to be scheduled to do), then toy with the same decision when your 360 replacement is ready (whenever that may be)...


...most importantly, though: POST PICTURES!

 

Hi Scotty,

I know you said you don't like tan interior, but here is a pic I posted the other day of a grigio alloy Spider with cream interior. IMO, it looks great, but if you don't like it and won't go with tan or black, I think blue is your next best option. Either dark blue or Ferrari's medium/pale blue would both look good...

(I know it's a lousy pic, especially for looking at the interior, but it shows that from a distance it even looks great, so up closer & in person it will indeed look great.)

 

check out my profile pic for grigrio titanio.

 

seats, carpet, dash...dark blue. Black steering wheel. Stiching/piping I could go back and forth on.


But the blue interior is great. I don't care for it on most cars.....

 

Personally, I think there are only two interior colors that work well with Grigio Alloy: navy and the lighter blue. JMHO. If you get Navy, I recommend you get the dash and wheel in Navy also... I believe it will be plenty dark.

 

Yep, black. The 3 other colors you can get them in are silver, red, or yellow.

 

Silver... or maybe that lighter medium blue color? I'd have to see either to decide if I liked it.

If you go navy, then the lower dash would be navy (generally)... the upper shouldn't be lighter... black is too little contrast... thus, I was recommending you go navy for that too.

Black is stock. Silver (or is it "aluminum") is an option. With Grigio Alloy, I'd stick with black.

 

Scotty,
My 575 is not Grigio alloy but rather grigio titanio.I still prefer a blk interior to other possibilities which can be jazzed up with daytona seats with or without stitching and leather shelf The standard blk calipers look lovely with any of the greys or silver exteriors.
PS I got the call from Tonkin today too re 360.

 

Oh, you want Titanium, not Alloy???
Titanium doesn't have blue in it... its a darker grey, but completely neutral... it has more black in it. My answer above was for Alloy, not Titanium.

For Titanium, you can go with blacks, grays, reds, or blues. When I was preparing to order a Titanium 360, I was going to go with the medium gray interior and dark gray for the upper dash, wheel, and daytona insets. Oh, and Charcoal carpet. I still think that would look great.

I have navy interior in my current Titanium 360 Modena and that looks great.

And for the CS, I am ordering Titanium with the red/black alcantara interior. I am certainly hoping that will look great.

Oh, and either black or red calipers look great on Titanium... kind of depends upon whether you want that bit of "Ferrari flash" (shields and red calipers), or prefer to embrace that monochromatic look (no shields and black calipers).

Try this one, tan and cuoio 360 seats

 

Or this is really good with a blue ish exterior.

 

Hi Scotty,
I went through the same thing you're going through about a year ago. I ended up choosing grigio titanio (titanium) as well. I went with front & rear challenge grilles, red calipers, shields, charcoal daytona seats, etc...
With titanium you do indeed have more options than with grigio alloy. I've seen red, blue, charcoal, black, and others and pretty much all look great. Here are some pics of my car that I posted the other day, incase you missed them -

I once saw a titanium 360 with red racing seats and it looks stunning. If you do this though, stay away from making the upper dash, steering, and carpets the same color, as too much can look tacky. The one that I saw just had red racing seats and a red lower portion of the dash. If I find pics of it, I'll post them.

While I have a tan interior, as it has grown on me, I have noticed I like the slightly darker Naturale and Tobacco brown interiors better than the typical tan. You might be able to work one of these into your exterior color scheme.

In fact, the only two options that I have to agonize over at this point are shields (I like the clean look without shields, but they are also a good way to add visual interest to the exterior) and whether or not to go with the upgraded stereo (which, I understand, is basically a slighly better low fidelity system). Leather headliner or not will depend on my interior choice. Otherwise, I think the stock wheels, front challenge grill as well, Xenons, and power seats (though I really like the feel of the sports seats). I am unsure about Daytona inserts, will mount my own fire extinguisher, and am 6 speed all the way.

Thanks again.[/QUOTE]

The upgraded stereo is great... much better than Bose in my Merc. Xenons are standard. I went with titanium/black/red calipers. I think you should choose between either the red calipers or the yellow shields. I think if you do both there are too many visible exterior colors with both red and yellow.
