    that's what I thought when I was in the configurator but I searched google and instagram and scozia looks way closer to pozzi than the blue in this picture. i don't know if it's a filter or the light is hitting the car hard but this picture looks a couple shades darker than bmw interlagos blue rather than the scozia blu's i've seen on the internet. if someone could clear this up i would appreciate it. thanks.

    My guess is Blu Scozia also.

    Color is such a personal choice. I would have specced this car with shields and with the natural wheel color vs black. I think this "pretty" color doesn't match up that well with the "tough" black wheels.

    Agree. The scheme looks kinda unbalanced, heavy. And odd owner hasn't gone for carbon wheel centres either so leaving yellow centres as further visual complication. I've ordered TdF with white Nart stripe, natural wheels, upgrade black calipers, carbon centres, carbon wing nodules, and normal shields. Car in production now due 1st Aug. Will either look fab or I'll be eating a large slice of humble pie.

    Very beautiful colour. You don't see it very often.

    There's a couple threads with TDF that looks pretty good but with dark colors (greys, blacks, blues etc) it's good to add some contrast ( ie don't do dark wheels, make sure you have shields, yellow calipers) etc otherwise I think you loose the details that make the car look so stunning.

    I hear you but when I was speccing my 599 GTO which I wanted in Ferro with Silverstone and carbon part painted sills the factory Atelier advised not to take yellow calipers, my original spec. His rationale was clear, yellow calipers attract the eye and detract from the whole. He advised aluminium calipers which I accepted. For my spec he had a point and the car looks stunning still. So for my TdF Speciale I've avoided yellow calipers again.

    IMO, darker Speciale colors like this one just kill the beautiful lines of the car.

    Gold wheels would be superb on the dark blue.
