    Tim,

    I think that's true of most new Ferrari models - more creases and folds which, the lighter colour highlight so well.

    and yet here is a different dark blue with more clarity to the color than the earlier tdF. Also the use of silver for a contrast color on the wheels, calipers and even the roof!
    W. B. Blu Pozzi with Argento Nurburgring are the two paint colors. The dual color look was popular on the 599 GTO but the tdF models seen have been all single paint color choices so far...

    I think it's because the F12 body doesn't have the natural lines for a two tone livery like the 458 and 599 Families. It's visible on the rear portion of the car body, there is no clear point where to stop the first color and to start the second.

    Unfortunately completely correct, otherwise this scheme is one I would definitely consider, albeit possibly a little soft for the tdf

    The F12 doesn't quite work like the 599 does with two tone paint.

    I do believe that in the "right paint scheme" the strip can work very well. i just haven't seen it yet to a color scheme that appeals to me.

    Im a big fan of this strip idea on the TDF, as im not a big fan of the carbon aero bridge things on the wings and this strip ties (hides) them nicely..

    https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/12492016_504677689693677_71955189347727613_o.jpg

    I wonder if a dark blue cross over strip would work with blue carbon aero bridges (maybe on silver car).

    That would be my perfect stripe, flows w the design of the car and is specific to just this model.

    I share the same opinion about the visible carbon aero parts...

    I read somewhere here that factory said it will be impossible to have exterior carbon parts in another color.

    Agreed. I think the aero bridge stripe in a custom colour would look very sexy as it is unique to the tdf. I personally would go with an Avorio tdf, brown aero bridge stripe and dark brown interior.
