Coming out on the Old Brompton Road, thought it was a 360 at first... then spotted huge intakes and Enzo rear. Looks good in red. Not sure about the sound with the standard exhaust though

Very similar to 360 on the road - until you see the rear.

430 or 360CS?? Hmmmmmm.....

Saw a black one in Monaco a few weeks ago. Crema interior with black harnesses, looked absolutely stunning.

black does seem to be the colour to have so far, still think gunmetal could look pretty darn fine too - just waiting for a pic ( rico!)

It is reasonably safe to descibe the 430 as a CS with a "comfort pack", so it depends what you want to do with the car

My elise is gunmetal and I love her
But the F430 at gunmetal is Bloody amazing.
It is the first time I think that a Ferrari looks better in another colour than the ussual red.

Like said above, on paper they seem very similar in performance. If doing lots of miles (as you do Bebs), I'd probably go 430, simply for the worrying cost of replacing the brakes on the Stradale and the added comfort and luxuries of the 430. But then the Stradale sounds amazing, looks better and will be rarer...

Lots of piccies at www.430b.com but no coupes in gunmetal yet and I'm crap at photoshop!
