    Yes, there is a lot going on. Thats what i meant by 'racy'. It feels like race car livery.
    the key is the mass of silver. If the body were any other color (with the possible exception of white) there would be too much going on. Silver on curvy cars with lots of details always works well. In my eyes at least.

    Silver with gold wheels works for me, too. Grigio Alloy would also be nice. And definitely red or yellow calipers are over for me. Silver or aluminium ones are so much more classy.

    Which one do you mean ? Are there any OEM by Ferrari ?
    Had mine from Exoticare - great stuff and you can spec them as you like...

    Here in Germany mostly elderly people have Silver cars :D

    Even worse, unless I'm mistaken. I thought the tips are titanium regardless, these are are just black?

    Even if the normal tips are not titanium, it still doesn't matter, since those tips are very short regardless. So the weight saving will be the square root of nothing.

    From what I know they are titanium made and not just black. I ordered them since my car will be black and I hope I will get her soon..

    I had the titanium tips on my old Scud and they looked fantastic once they had got very hot and taken on that characteristic blue/white hue.
    I didn't bother with them when I ordered my Speciale.

    Amazing, race car composure & sound...towards the end, weather was rather grim. Thanks for posting.

    The wheels and black calipers look excellent with the Rosso exterior

    Agreed. Nero calipers on Rosso looks very neat.
