balboni vs 550-2
Discussion
i believe that it was just the body stripe, seat stripes, contrasting console, sl wheels and numbered plaque
every balboni i've seen also has the clear engine cover, sat nav and branding pack - not sure if these were part of the balboni package ?
e-gear was optional, just like the 550 etc

where there any mechanical (not cosmetic) changes made when the 550-2 was released as a production car.....? includes MY improvements if there were any.
You thinking of getting one? Awesome cars

I'm going to wait for a 550-2 without the god awful stripe all over it. Really would love to have a Balboni, but really don't like the stripe, and I assume you can't take it off.
Plus, I suspect that a "regular" 550 will be cheaper in 6 months time.
The hunt for a manual with all the toys in a dark colour could be tricky though!!
Hope you're well mate. I've been up half the night listening to the crazy storm over here near Newmarket. Mad winds!

IME the rwd Gallardo was a great car. Unfortunately nobody bought them, probably because Lamborghini owners are wusses more interested in colours, private plates, after market barry boy wings, and wheel options, and that seems to have put the factory off making more rwd models

I quite like the stripe, although it is pretty base colour dependent. You are right in that it cannot be removed, apparently it is painted in, not applied.My dealer contact said that the 550-2 was not a good seller in the UK, apparently most purchasers opted to pay a little more for the 560-4, however this is not true of other markets e.g. the USA. He also suggested that most drivers would not push the car to the limits where the benefits of RWD over 4WD would manifest themselves.
