I thought Monterey Blue was discontinued because of legal issues...?

 

True, check my post with specs list:
Colour out of current range 6500€
i spoke with my mechanic who has a friend at the paint shop doing all the lambos and he said MB is a bitch to repair because it is a multi layer colour (i think purple is base colour) so it is best to send the car over to them to get an even colour, which is not very convinient.

 

Monterey Blue and Rosso Vik were both discontinued, but I don't know if that stops them from being special-ordered? The paint code is still available, so perhaps you could tell them the code without telling them the name? I don't know how these things work, I've yet to order a supercar.




Yes, it's a 3-stage paint...but so are a lot of the Lambo paint jobs (Balloon White for example). MB's base color is a lavender metallic, and all 3-stage paint jobs are difficult to match. That shouldn't matter much when choosing a color though. Most Lambo owners use clear bras to protect the paint nowadays.

 

Wait for the car you ordered. Another month or two is nothing to get exactly what you want.

 

Yeah, definitely wait for the car.

 

tx for the replies guys! it's been a while since i've seen such undivided opinions on a forum
so i'm sticking with the MB then.

as for break calipers, my car is going to mansory anyways, i will be replacing all the plastic black parts with carbon fiber ones, maybe repainting calipers and upgrading the interior with cf/alcantra. no funky aerodynamic upgrades though. Lamborghini should have offered more CF custumisation options from the start...

 

I would advise getting a full-car clear bra treatment if possible. That will protect the paint and save you some hassle if it does get any stone chips or scratches.

Congrats and wait for the blue car.

However this statement makes me want to ask you to just not buy the car. I mean that in the nicest way possible (I see you have Mansory products), it's just that Mansory anything makes me want to asphyxiate on my own vomit

 

first of all it is a matter of taste. and you should have read what i said, only original parts to be replaced with CF ones. no tuning. and as far as craftsmanship goes mansory guys are top notch!
and i know you all have a certain attitude towards mansory, but i had many cars, and at certain point it just does not cut it anymore to have the stock car. my 599 was lovely, but dull. you have to see these cars in person to appreciate. then again, i am not crazy about all of mansory projects, but it is up to the customer to decide what he wants.

 

Your Mansory Masarati GranTurismo is a stunner though.
