Had a black F430 Spider before and thought the car was decent enough but absolutely hated all the attention when driving around. Love the 458s and want to get one, but are there any colours that fly under the radar a bit? I know it's never going to blend in like an AMG can, but anyone found some good colours that don't get quite as many looks as red yellow etc?

I expect the spec on the 430 I had made it stand out more too. Black scuderia wheels and yellow callipers.

So a standard black 458 might be better... Though i know it's never going to blend in of course. The Grey looks great, wonder if there's any difference? Main thing Is not red I suppose!

Yes, the noise probably draws more attention than the colour. I found a sensible right foot strongly advised in town when wanting to stay a bit more discreet - and of course when outside neighbours houses when wanting to stay on good terms with them!!

I think I'll stick to black again as I think you are right, any colour is still going to stand out a lot, so may as well just get my favourite - though that grey I would certainly consider if my local Ferrari dealership had one in stock.

Nice pics, that grey is really growing on me.
