    In your opinion.

    My opinion is- its very aggressive, and very beautiful.

    And at first, via the fuzzy sneak pictures leaking out, I was a little concerned. Lesson learned: don't get too worked up (pro or con) based on early fuzzy pictures! But, with the benefit of actual photos and then in person, its a very aggressive, purposeful, and beautiful car. My opinion is no one combines the aggression of speed with beautiful curves that evoke fine artwork as well as Ferrari. And the more you look at it the more you notice little things that bring out the beauty even more.

    Its also the first time a LE looks quite a bit different from the base car. You could say it is another model from the F12 and upon looks alone I would believe it. I really love it and I wish I had an allocation!

    Very cool livery. It really is something I'd expect to see on an XX car. Very seXXy! :)

    Forget the passenger who looks like a drug selling midget and the fact that the car is not complete on the picture.

    This pic shows the beautiful curves of the Tdf

    the silver rims almost look white under direct sun exposure. I'm almost asking myself if they are not actually white...

    Thats just the camera which set the exposure for other elements not the wheels. Car is gorgeous!

    Unusually my car is now in the UK (I am not)and then will be returning to the Factory for my rather unique handover in early March. Meanwhile, Topaz are doing a Level 3 Paint rectification followed by a full protective wrap.

    Interesting to note that it would appear that due to the out of range TM Paint, the quality is better as all my previous cars have required the extensive Level 5 rectification.

    Snow foam shots for now as I would rather like to see the car before you!

    Congrats ! the loooong path is coming to an end.

    I haven't understood the return to the factory.. a kind of special ceremony ?

    Hope you like the colour as above!

    Topaz are fantastic --- I'm surprised you needed Level 5 on modern car - I've only had level 3 on my F12 and that was after the car had already been sent back to Zanasi for correction....

    On every modern Ferrari except this one, the quality has been terrible and I posted various threads documenting it in detail. This is the best yet but thats what out of range paint (& £'s) gets you.

    Colour looks a bit patchy to me - Ferrari normally do white quite well. It almost looks like a fluffy suede - will be difficult to detail and keep clean!!!

    FWIW, we've had to do extensive correction on all of our previous cars, especially the blues....must say with our Triple Yellow on this car, our detailing guru (who has done all of our cars and 100's of Ferraris) said that the paintwork, finishing and attention to detail was much better (still needed work, but much better)

    Dear Apple,Google,Microsoft,Adobe, please provide foam removal photo tool post haste!

    Incidentally, I bet the foam helps reduce rock chips, but, how do you see out? :)

    Congratulations Tim!!!!!!!!!!

    I bet you are excited Tim!
    Are they going to ship the car back to Italy so you can pick it up at the factory?

    Yup and then all being well a very special delivery event in very early March, at least it certainly will be for me.

    Sort of looks like the previous german grayish blue minus the sparkles now, of course!

    Congrats on the completed build!!!
