    Great roof wrap. The 599 really lends itself to a deft contrasting wrap.

    Thanks everyone and sorry for the late reply; my bad :)

    I got the XX-winglets directly from Scuderia Ferrari. But it wasn't easy to get them. When I asked for the first time I've been told that those are only available for XX cars so as long as I don't have one, I can't get them :)

    But my service manager worked so hard on this, and after 2 months he finally managed to get them from one the managers of SF. The winglets came in a SF box, it didn't have a part number on it just a '599XX' writing on the inner side of the wing :)

    Very nice! The wings aren't my style, but they do give the car a bad look. (KEC35, you are from Istanbul and I want to be sure you know my use of the word "bad" is a compliment :)).

    BTW, what are speed limits like in Turkey?

    Maybe some rims and a front lip to match the winglets? Nice to see a modified a 599.

    Agreed, you gotta get the GTO style wheels to match the other mods...

    Thanks Nospinzone; IMO the wing looks way better in person. A lot of my friends thought it looked bad (literally bad :D ) when they see the pictures but almost all of them loved it when they saw it in person.

    Sure we use the "bad" as a compliment here too. But commonly we say "dirty lookin" :D

    Speed limits are 70-90 km/h in town and 130 km/h in freeways. But really no one cares :) Because if you go in the limits, you will be mobbed by the car behind of you.

    I totally agree with you. I will order my gunmetal finish GTO wheels soon. And I'm planning to get the front lip but I am not sure if it fits directly into standart bumper. If I have to get the GTO one, it will be so pricey.

    Looks mean. A set of GTO wheels would complete the look.
