Pearlescent white: GOOD

Not too pushy interior: GOOD

VERY pushy interior: EXTRA GOOD, why not?

Pwhite with whatever interior + distracting bits of colour outside like bright calipers etc: Spoils the effect a bit imho...

An old mate had a pearlescent white Countach QV. It had a PEPPERMINT GREEN interior which was, errrm, a little challenging at first sight but became less so soon after and was then actually very cool... minty-style pun most certainly intended!

It looks silver on those pictures, it would look great with anthracite coloured wheels.

If it's madre pearla then it's special order paint. c£4k option I think? If it's ballon white I think it's a standard no cost option? Ballon white isn't pearlescent though.

one of the cars I am looking at is advertised as Ballon white Pearlescent (special order) - it certainly looks like the one below.

I may well be wrong, but if it's pearlescent I would say that is Madre Pearla - it has a silvery fleck through the paint and looks like an 'off' white. If it's 'flat' then it's ballon white which I don't think is pearlescent. Whichever colour, white really suits the car IMO.

Love white lambo`s, but wifey wouldn`t be seen dead in one so I had to go black, is the car your looking at in wales ? if so it`s a very basic spec

[simonspider]

Balon or Balloon white is the Pearl White colour found only on Murcielago/LP640's. Its a special order and last year was about £4k. The Gallardo Pearl White is the Madre Pearl..Don't know how much extra it is on the Gallardo

If I was spending that much on a car I'd have to go with a colour like that, it looks so special.

Thanks for everyones helpful responses - Have ever I test drove a 430 yesterday (I have driven a Gallardo). I have now decieded pretty much that I would like a 430 over the Gallardo as to me it gives a little bit more of a sporty feel.

FYI I was looking at a black Gallardo at GrayPaul Nottingham or a the Ballon white at Azur in Scotland.

Hi Gizard

No I was considering the Coupe - but after driving a 430 on the weeked I have decided to go Ferrari I think. But thanks for your response.
