    I must call my dealer next week to make FINAL speccing of my car. I am happy so much but I still cannot decide what interior to choose. Any thoughts on best exterior / interior combo? I have chosen deep red metallic, thinking about ROSSO MONZA and FULL crema inteior, burungudy stiching with both carbon packages. I have not seen any 599 in brand new 60th Aniversary burungudy metallic paint, any PHOTOS, official name of this paint? I will greatly thank any help, any opinion from you!!! Please post any interesting color combo or interior photos. Thank you and will post photos of my car as soon as I will get it. Dealer tell it will be in December. Hardly wait to get it!!!

    Not that I have one of these, but I'd just like to say that, in my opinion, Scuderia shields look a bit tacky. If I had a Ferrari, I'd avoid them altogether. Just my opinion.

    I would loose the parking sensors. After a while you will be one with the car, understand the distance. Also they can mislead you sometime and hit somehing higher, so trust no warning system, your car is too valuable to take a chance, I get out and look, no need to have those ugly bulges in the back. I think they should have been embedded, soon will when the sesors get better I think. I got everything you got and am happy with it. I have a red interior and black dash. Color is an indivisual choice. Mine is Rosso Corsa. Get evrything you an except the sensors. My honest opinion.

    Rosso Monza is a gorgeous color. It was made for the 599! Crema would go well with it. :)

    One more thing. I am going for full Alcantara footplace. I know it is very hard to keep but still.

    Rossa Monza is a beautiful color and would look amazing with crema, but I do believe the color is a hefty price option like $10,000+ and takes an extra month to be built. I may be wrong, you should ask your dealer to clarify the details of this color before you get sticker shock by the paint option and the delayed delivery.

    Also I would suggest if you do go with Crema break it up with piping and stitching as well as the carbon fiber packages. crema is a very light color and needs to have some color added to it. I have crema in my 599 with black stitching and piping and I think it just adds to the interior. Good luck with your specs.

    I love your choice of exterior color, my only suggestion would be to go with Cuoio interior with Black inserts, black piping and black stitching. I think this would give it a classic look.

    I had rear sensors on my first 599 and I have both rear and front in my second 599. Spitfire is no doubt correct but I am lazy and not so great at parking. Any help is much appreciated :):):)

    Your car will be smashing.

    Personal opinions: I had 20" wheels on my first 599 and at that time I was deadset against the standard wheels. With time they grew on me and I got the standard wheels on my second 599. I think they are fantastic now and I find the 20" wheels are very 2004 CS now. Funny how taste changes. I have got 4 new cars this year and I have got all of them in black interior. The visual interest comes from carbon fibre, accents in the car (599 has a lot of aluminum), leather trims (I have Daytona seats but in all black) and extra stitching in black. What I am finding is that the subtle details grow on me more and more and the more blatant contrasts that I used to like wear off pretty quickly
