Ok so now seriously thinking about the paint option, current ly she is Rosso red pearl, should I stay the same or should I go for a reflex colour, I know red ones are the fastest but what if there was a faster colour, what would it be?

Be ing a bit of a purist, I like the idea of keeping the car fairly original so I am torn about a colour change, help in deciding would be appreciated.

Would your interior colour restrict your options?

I'd stick with Rosso Red if it were me. It's a fairly unique colour and a really nice one at that. Reflex colours aren't really my thing. Furthermore, the Cerbera is a classic shape rather than a mental shape like a Tuscan or Sagaris. I don't think reflex colours particularly suit a Cerbera. All in my opinion of course...

Red and black interior so I guess it would a bit.

Quite liking this idea, white Cerbera's do look the business but then to be fair any colour Cerb looks the business.

I think I need to go to a paint shop and see what is out there.

Mine is Candy Apple Red, its got a gold metal flake in it, struggled to find a pic that shows it off, this is as near as I could get. Otherwise I like the blues, Imperial blue and Rolex Blue both look great on the Cerb, and yes White looks great too... In fact most colours looks great, though personally I'm not a fan of the flip colours...

If you can get hold of GT5 on PS3, there is a Cerbera on there, and a paint shop, you can paint it pretty much any colour you like, even reflex colours.
You can try different wheels too!

Here I go again, trying not to upset anyone but invariably doing so...

Colours, hmmmmmmm, Rosso Red is absolutely superb on a Cerb and was my sought-after colour when I was looking to buy.

Reflex colours are interesting
BUT
so is a Pinball machine.

In the end I have fallen completely in love with Moonraker Black because of the flake that has in it. When I park mine next to my mate's M5 it looks as if his has been rubbed down, waiting for a final gloss coat,

So Rosso Pearl with flake to almost keep originality but incorporate some of your personal individuality as well. getmecoat

Now that is a cracking idea.

Will also have a look at GT5 as recommended.

Cheers.

My old Suzuki motor bike was candy apple red. on the plastic it had faded due to age, but the fuel tank still looked fantastic.
It is a gorgeous colour. :-)
