    Does anyone know where I can find the interior color code for the 355? Also, how many different tan interior did they make for 95?

    The "typical" Ferrari tan interior is: Connolly No. 3218 Saddle. If you need to match a faded area and can supply an actual piece of leather, Leatherique (www.leatherique.com) can color-match ANYTHING. They also sell dye for all Ferrari color codes and their leather cleaners and conditions are, IMO, the best on the market.

    I'm not sure if they made other "tan" colors in MY 1995. A similar color is called, crema, which is a VERY light tan. I don't have the code for that color.

    Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the company. Just a very satisfied customer.

    Interesting reading so I was wondering if you could help me please. I was lead to believe that crema was one shade which I now know to be wrong. I ordered some and airbrushed some sample leather and it came out much to dark. I am spending far to much time on this and could do with a fast track solution. Apart from sending the headrest away can some one confirm or dispell the multi shades of crema rumour please. it's for a 355
    regards

    While I am far from a restoration expert, crema is a completely different color code than standard Ferrari "tan", which is, by far, the most common color in this category. The best suggestion I can make is to contact Leatherique (www.leatherique.com). I can assure you they will have the exact Connolly color code for crema and will be able to supply you with the correct dye. If you feel that you have substantial sun-fade to your leather and want to match it exactly, you may be able to trim a small piece of leather from under the seat. The upholsterers generally leave a small seam allowance. You may have to remove the seat from the car to get at the area effectively, but that's easy - only 4 Allen head bolts on the seat rails (2 front, 2 back). Good luck.

    Thanks for the reply. It is for a friend. Apparently Crema has a red tint or a yellow tint, and that came from connally hide. I think If I could find out how to take the head rest out (Struggle) I shall send it off to Buffalo Leather in Lancashire who I know can definately match it. But I am assured it is Crema the car belongs to member Dino355 :) Regards

    You now have heard from a restoration EXPERT! I had no idea Ferrari offered so may color choices for the F355. Thanks for the information.

    BTW, SNARK, if you have any "sticky" interior parts in your F355, make sure you send them to www.stickynomore.com. I promise you, that you will be absolutely thrilled with the results and spend about 1/5 the cost of replacing the parts from Ferrari.

    Aubergine is more of a silver hue then a white that is why I didn't add it to the list. Plus not many cars ever came with Aubergine--VERY rare.. Asprey edition only I believe..
