    Everytime I check out the 2 available grey stitching colors I get more and more confused about the shades. Which one is the darker stitch - scuro or chiaro? Most importantly, for a grigio titanio exterior color, which one do you think would look better for contrasting stitching on black leather racing seats? I have tried to look at some of the pics here but difficult to say. Does anyone have any good interior pics of both types? Thanks.

    Scuro = italian for DARK.
    Chiaro = italian for CLEAR or BRIGHT.

    Is this Deja Vu or what.... I went with the Grigio Scuro over the Chiaro on Charcoal and black interior and Titanio exterior. Interior is charcoal but I left the dash, carpet and steering wheel in black... You can ask me for a pic at the end of the month when it is supposedly going to be here....

    Thanks Onno for the Italian lesson but can you explain the 2 grigio grays in the attached pic. I received this pic from a dealer and was interested in your comment or for that matter anyone else about the different shades. Grigio Scuro (0318) looks like the lighter or brighter one and Chiaro appears darker. Thanks.

    Oh great, I thought I ordered grigio scuro but I just checked my build list and the last 4 digits were 0318... Oh well, I'll love it either way...

    I have the lighter one (0318) on my Titanium California with chocolate and black interior. Don't worry. It looks just fine; matches the color of the car.

    The contrast stitching looks nice on the dash. However, it reflects quite a bit on the windscreen.

    No, can't explain that - seems to me an error was made.

    I have Grigio Chiaro on the nero race seats in my Cali. They look good and I'd think that Scuro would potentially not provide as good a level of contrast against the nero leather. The dash reflection has never bothered me but you could order black stitch on the dash top or just on the instrument pod cover as it's the reflected stitching lines on that area that are most evident in your field of vision.

    I think 0416 goes and matches better with grigio titanium exterior if the interior is a lighter color such as bordeux or cuoio.

    Hopefully in about 10 days I'll be able to post some pictures of my titano car with chario stitching on nero race seats. I went for the lighter shade of grey to provide more contrast I what otherwise would be a dark cabin color.
