Is it metallic or flat? Also thoughts on the colour on a Chim?

I presume you are referring to the one in the classifieds, it looks to me like a slightly paler red than the one above. Not as dark as your standard Ferrari red either.

Looks a decent car by the description although the leather on the driver's seat looks like it needs attention.

Looks like the same picture to me!

For me, red is the best colour for a sports car!

That is Formula Red by the look of it.

Italian red looks different to me. A sort of softer (?) red.

I am, I’ve been speaking with the seller and it sounds pretty good, seems to tick all the boxes, I just never considered a red one and I know it sounds like a silly reason but just not sure how I feel about it. I like the cherry red colour and I do like this red just not sure it works on this car?

If it was imperial blue or something like that it would be perfect.

I think they look well in red, the only issue I saw the the red cars is they often have carpet that has faded to a pink colour but that can be dyed back or replaced.

That’s not a problem with this car as it has magnolia carpets which I prefer.

In my handbook it lists the colour as Monza Red. I think Formula red and Monza red are almost identical.

I think the red really suits the Chimaera. Mine gets plenty of attention, and good comments especially on the colour.

Mine is Monza Red as well. I believe monza is a little more orangy than formula red.

That looks great, really suits the car. If the stock Italian red was like that it would be an easy decision
