Ok then need some more opinions.

Car is specced apart from wheels. Have hugely differing opinions split 50/50 ( including the guys at Lambo ) as to the merits of black or silver calistos.

Car will be in pearl white by the way.

Black if silver or black is the only choices.

Do they not do a colour somewhere in between, anthracite?

Titanium looks better than either black or silver, IMO.

Who in the world will be the first to ask for the matt dark brown colour that is being offered?...

Mind you, it would probably look brilliant - there must be an end in sight for all these shiny cars and a release of the pent-up and hemmed-in demand for flat paint colours - it will make the roads a lot less dazzling when you have a headache that's for sure...

I'd go for silver...I think it makes a car look 'cleaner'.

I'd go for silver as well. Both of my Gallardo's have been white with silver Callisto's. My spyder originally arrived on titanium Callistos but I really didn't like it and had them switched to silver. I'm just trying to decide between Bianco Monocerus and Balloon white at the moment for my LP560 order.

I have black Calistos on my yellow car and at first I liked them, but now I'm thinking of getting them changed back

I would check that the factory ones are just coated, so that you have the option to later change them

Do you know what the cost is of the new matte black or white paint jobs?
