Without doubt gun metal grey (or equivalent) with matching wheels, finished off with yellow break callipers. Saw one in Porto Banus and fell in love with it immediately. Gives it a stealth bomber look.

How much can you afford to lose?

Rosso Corsa with Crema is always the best combination. Silver with black sell ok, silver with blue are a nightmare to sell- as is anything with blue leather tbh.

The majority of the cars we ship to brisbane are yellow, black and grigio titanium- as they just don't sell real easy over here- but are popular in Oz.

My personal combination is TDF with crema, but, once again, not the easiest to sell.

Hope this helps.
Simon.

Looks like red wins it, I'm still not sure though. Will probably go with the black, or maybe even the yellow just to be different.

Everyone buys a red ferrari, if they dont buy red they buy black, stand out from them with the yellow one, any other car I would say no but on a ferrari it suits.

Yeah I do tend to agree with you, think the yellow looks fantastic on this car with the stripe too.

Pity the Scuderia is not offered in grey as that to me would look more classy.
Red is too Ferrari, and yellow a bit more in your face. Go for black!

Red sells a lot better than yellow and holds it's value better than yellow. Black is similar to Red in re-sale but still not as good

Light met blue with gold wheels.



Or yellow. Only 2 cars get away with bright yellow IMO, Lancia Integrale or any modern Ferrari.

Red. There's a good reason why the colour is known as "resale red" in the car business. Black looks bloody awful in direct sunlight.

Black.

If I could afford a ferrari 430, I could afford a professional detailer to take care of the paint!

I'm not sure i'd ever choose a non-red Ferrari, over a red.

I'm more a Lambo person, and then yellow, orange or purple look great.

Black is dull, somehow hides the fact its a supercar- black is for golf's, beemers and any drug dealer's car.

I don't really like that shade of yellow.

if i had a couple of ferrari's in the garage already, then i'd start considering a different colour!

I can't stand red cars full stop - however, if i was ever in a position to buy a Ferrari, i would end up with a red one

The TDF Dark Blue would be my vote or black.
The Grigio Alloy was nice on that one Top Gear took to Europe with the Lambo and Porsche (or what ever they were)
Having done the red route myself I think I'd try something else...
I loved the 355 in Yellow but not so sure about the 430. I say black.

Ferraris are red, Lambos are yellow, and Porsches are silver. These are the facts of life
