Hi All.

Just recently ordered my Lamborghin Gallardo Spyder, I have had many a sleepless night over the colour, at first I was going to go with a stealth look a matt black or gun metal grey, however I thought its a Lamborghini you dont have to conform to colour so I was going to go with the Verde Ithaca but at the death I changed it to Pearl White! There is no going back now! The colour can make or break a car I just hope I got it right as it is an expensive mistake to make!

Have a look at the links let me know your thoughts:

When you get a G mate, the colour won't make or break the car. It will only compliment an already beautiful thing.

Personally my favs in order are:

Orange - looks the nuts!
Black - you just cannot go wrong
Pearl White - very unusal
Blue - very nice.

it's a personal thing, i love verde but think it's maybe nicer on a murcie, orange is also cool but plenty around now, you did the right thing.

imo you selected the perfect colour it will look stunning and if you finish it of with grey wheels like this one then it will look fantastic although this one has had a few mods

Only just - it also has side badges like a Ferrari, these also look shit. Anymore pictures of this terrible car by any chance?

The second spyder is Bianco Cygnus which is solid white and the same colour as my coupe. Unfortunately mine didn't come with the optional "model package" that car appears to have

Hi there,

Always liked Yellow on a Gallardo Spyder myself, although after seeing this one at Silverstone on Friday I have to say the grey really suits the car and looks especially good with the colour coded wheels.

Tim

Been having exactly the same dilemma myself. First settled on pearl white, then saw the colour in person and thought it had too much of a creamy kind of hue to it. Crossed grey off the list as my neighbour has one and it just made the car look dull. Then i went for the safe choice black but then i thought if you're going to get a lambo may as well be a colour that stands out. I then thought of getting a normal white. So for now i've chosen Bianco Cygnus, i've yet to see this in person and hope i'm not making a mistake. It is listed as a metallic finish so hopefully it'll look nice.

Seeing a pearl white Spyder in London last month, that is the one I would go for. Flat white lacks interest IMO but that pearl is a unique colour and looks amazing.

That sounds like an awesome combo..any pics? i've gone for black leather with white stitching...but i can imagine the red does look very good.
