    Many congratulations!

    I would have thought that the Atelier should be able to get you any color you want. E.g., they should be able to get cow hides dyed to match perfectly with the Rosso Dino color. It's a little dissappointing if they cannot do this (or maybe they can for even more cost).

    Either way, must have been a cool experience.

    Thats a good point... I should have checked for special color leather - not sure what it would do to the delivery - the off range color (Russo Dino) and the Matt Carbon delayed the car by weeks..( Shoulda woulda Coulda)...

    It's hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the Atelier may have given you their standard orange leather. Does your order show a name for the leather colour or does it likely just say Extra Campionaro? I sourced a leather myself which was much closer to Rosso Dino and asked if I could supply it to Ferrari to use on my car. It is a colour Lamborghini offer for the Aventador and is called Arancio Dryope which matches their exterior colour Arancio Argos perfectly. Arancio Argos is almost a metallic version of Rosso Dino. The leather Lamborghini use comes from the German supplier Boxmark who sell this leather under the name Antigua in their Xtreme range.

    When faced with that request all of a sudden the Atelier produced a leather colour that their supplier Poltrona uses for some of their furniture which is called Pelle Frau Antigua/Mandarino which was a much better match so I went with it.

    Here is the colour I was initially offered which has the hole in the same place for holding it in their sample book hence why I wonder if it is the colour they gave you. Excuse the colour balance in my photo as it's out slightly.

    Russo Dino changes color all the time so I guess whatever shade you choose will be off in some light.
    Your leather color looks closer for sure...

    Todo,

    The seats are gray alcantera, what else was gray alcantera? Was it only in the seats or were the floor, doors, dash, carpets and other things gray? I like your look and am trying to see what items should be black/stock and what gray. Did you mix stock black (dash, steering wheel, doors, carpets) with the gray seats?

    Thx
    Alan
