After talking to Simon in the car yesterday, he has encouraged me to go-ahead with what I have been thinking about for the Aero SuperSport in the way of a colour specification. I had thought about Giallo Granturismo, as it is a deeper colour than the usual Giallo Fly. Giallo Granturismo

With the rollover-bar and targa panels finished in black, it would give somewhat the appearance of the 2002 Aero - Le Mans car, which I have always liked. De Walt Series I - Le Mans Car

Maserati recommend Rosso Corallo for the interior leather, but that is I think far too radical for me. I don't want black, as the AeroMax has a distressed black interior, no dark blue as one of our others cars has this, so what does anyone recommend, that is for the exterior and a contrasting interior?

I have no suggestion on colour as I believe whatever colour you're choosing it will be stunning BUT I would not paint the rollbar, it looks far nicer in aluminium

Hi Kin,

Good to see you around TM, how's things? Are you contemplating buying another toy to complement your RR, there's some amazing bargains out there now as you know!

Unfortunately, the roll bar is not aluminium but a paint finish or some sort, and they also offer it in black in the same finish. If it was polished aluminium then I agree with you, I would not consider changing it...

Brian, we may end up with almost matching! You may have seen my earlier post about the colour scheme being a reverse of my Aero, so Matt black wheels with Gialla Ginestra body and black suede interior. The Gialla Ginestra is the yellow I have on the diffuser and under the bonnet, a bit paler than the Maserati colour (my wheels are currently at Rimstock being colour matched as they came out a bit too orangey).

The roof would be black as with the silver would remind me too much of the vx220 colour scheme! Matthew said the intention (may change) was for dark colours to have the silver and light colours to have the black.

Agreed that the car will look fantastic in any colour, though just that smidgen bit better in the Giallo Granturismo, or Giallo Fly for that matter.

Cheers

I love a combination of yellow with a very dark green interior. But I didn´t dare to choose that combination for my trad....

This morning, I have seen, a 911 turbo Cabriolet, in "Speed Yellow". It had black leather, with a subtle yellow contrast stitching (not just on the seats,but around the dash and centre console as well)... Yellow seat belts and yellow brake calipers, on matt black wheels.....it looked stunning.

Don't think my b*lls are big enough to be so adventurous, wish they were cos it sounds like its going to look great. well done

Can't get rid of me that easily Brian
Although I'll be away for 2 wks holidaying in the far East
Nothing special nowadays, saving up my pennies...

Ian, oops! I didn't see that post, though I did see one saying you knew what your spec would be. Anyway, I think that the colours are different enough not to matter and in any case, I may change my mind and have something completely different.

Head Office quite liked the Giallo Granturismo when she was ordering her Maserati, but I felt that a big car like that in it would be too much so she went for metallic black instead.

Still looking at colours, so nothing set in stone as yet...

P.S. Have you ordered your car and got a number yet?

Thanks Philippo, I wouldn't expect anything less from you (or Ivo). I accept that yellow cars are faster...

Some good suggestions from you guys, I am looking at some bottle green leathers, but as Andy infers a bit of a risky combination. I may play safe on the interior.

dmat's suggestion sounds nice, but I prefer the Giallo Granturismo yellow if it's a non-Porsche, if you know what I mean.
