    It can't be grey Nick cause then it will be the same color as all the government vehicles in your area as you stated in an earlier post.

    are you sure it's canne di fucile? I think that is the new tone grigio silverstone. canne di fucile was an older colour and now not in the off. colourrange. I think in this early stages the car is produced only in off. colour shims.
    more pictures? where taken?

    Well, not so sure about the colour anymore. Pic was taken at the Ferrari Days 2004 in Magny Cours.

    I would never order grey on any car let alone a sport car. However this grey is not remotely the color of Porsches' seal grey. Have you seen a seal grey Porsche in person?

    Though color opinions are subjective, I always make it a point to ask people who have seen it what they thought and almost uniformly they think it is one ugly color particularly on a sport car. However it is nice on a government car.

    Vtrader I hope your 997 isn't seal grey.

    The F430 is an exciting looking car - but in this color or perhaps these low photo angles, it looks a bit " Japanese " - although I can't put my finger on why.

    Might be because of the small taillights...?

    i cant decide if i can live with the rear end, the pseudo enzo crap really bugs me [you need to remember i think enzo's are ugly].. but it doesnt look as bad in these photos, and if a CS comes out, i'll live with it

    Maybe in your eyes, I think the Enzo is great looking....the most aggressive car to come out in a long time.

    They have my condolence.

    I cannot imagine a more unflattering color for a sport car. Around town I notice owners of cars with seal grey never wash their cars. I suspect they believe it looks better dirty.

    Since you should be able to get great chicks with a Spider I am wondering how NBerry still finds enough time to post on various boards VERY frequently...

    What does it tell you about the driver when even a Spider doesn't work?
