    3M was almost useless at high speed on a dirty highway. Rocks went right through it so I have to repaint anyway. The wiremesh grill helped a lot in keeping garbage out. I tried 3M on my windshield but it was also useless. Visibility fine and wipers worked well. But many rock chips so there was no point. Replacing a slightly less damaged windshield seems futile!

    hi, a friend of mine experienced the same problem with the half-screen for the tyre-control. nothing serious. he did not have it fixed so far. my tft was missing radio- and navigationinformation, but that was only due to aftermarket installation of the ipod-cable. problem was solved by my ferrari-garage instantly. regards el

    My 599 is now awaiting it's second new TFT. My car is dead stock - no aftermarket iPod cable etc. My half screen ghost image is the rear parking sensors. Aside from the ghost image and the distressing electrical failure message, the car runs perfectly

    Repaint it later! In a good way, it looks better with the rock chips. :)

    No. Inspite of my initial dislike of them, the standard wheels have grown on me big time and I prefer them. The Challenge wheels now seem very 2004 to me
