F12 Specced and resolution on on the Cupholder!

After endless deliberation I have specced my car today trying to be realistic as possible on price as it is too easy to go overboard.

Short listed schemes:

1. Grigio Ferro with black leather, charcoal alcantara accents, Daytonas, CF detailing and Grigio standard wheels

2. Grigio Ferro with beige leather, black alcantara accents, CF detailing, Daytonas and Grigio standard wheels

3. Grigio Silverstone with beige leather, black alcantara accents, CF detailing, Daytonas and standard wheels

Anything with Grigio Ferro worked out about $15k more and to me it was not worth it, you need, I feel, to keep the extras down on this car. So settled for:

My old friend Grigio Silverstone
Beige leather
Daytonas with black alcantara inserts
Black alcantara door panels
Black alcantara roof lining
Carbon fibre steering wheel with LED's
Carbon fibre drivers zone
Carbon fibre dash
The ridiculous Carbon fibre cup holder (I am hating myself for this mindless expense)
Shields
Beige leather central tunnel
Yellow recounter
Standard wheels
Tyre pressure, parking sensors etc all standard fit.

The only question is silver wheels or medium grey painted?

Any thoughts and comments appreciated and Lone Wolf, your fault.

 

Ferrari has visited the dealer and seen there is a genuine problem which is now apparently going back to the factory for a general mod for all RHD cars. If they haven't, when I come to collect it, I will take the plane back.

 

Thanks, but I seem to have an affair with Daytonas. Had them in Boxers and a Daytona Spyder and maybe it is a link with the past but I just think they look great and much prefer them to the standard seats. Also I wanted a bit of black in the middle of the car to break it all up.

 

RHD F12's have an issue when swivelling your foot, assuming size 9.5 or above, from the accelerator to the brake, as your toe scuffs the underside of the fascia and is then prevented from going any further by two proud fasteners and it literally stops you getting to the brake pedal. A real frightener especially in a car like this.

Mr Mayor, not only did they mess up on the wheels, they gave me the wrong interior details as well!

 

Yup. Second time I have tried to convince myself to go with cuoio and personally there is just too much red in there.

 

Don't need lift and never had it as no steep driveways to negotiate. Hi fi upgrade I will only ever order in a convertible where you possibly need it due to lack of cabin confinement to retain the sound.

 

Correctly specced, tax paid in the UK, $400k is about right which either makes the 458 look expensive or the F12 cheap?

 

Thanks Guys, looks like late July or early September. Ferrari being Ferrari, I am banking on early September and yes, another pick up as it is probably the best part of the ownership experience blasting your way back through the passes and roads of Europe. First time I did this was with a 246 GTS!
