    Unfortunally not yet, but I follow this car on social media, so I could see it under different lightenings.I posted A few here

    The owner is friend with another owner of a Grigio Scuro Tdf... I think I should befriend those guys...

    ROMO - The wheel miss-match is totally unacceptable and not worthy of your time to attempt to resolve. Highly suggest you just back out of the deal and ask they direct the vehicle over to me.

    Fantastic spec! Pictures do not do it justice. Bet it is outstanding in the flesh.

    My F12B arrived with the wrong wheels! They sorted it, what really annoyed me is that the model received shortly after, also had the wrong wheels and they could not do anything for me about that --- :-(

    I was thinking of doing EXACTLY that but then realized that simply painting the wheels in Grigio Silverstone to match my LaF was a better solution. However, I really do like your creative solution to my now "old" problem... :)

    Any tdf owners have an issue with leaving the battery charger attached with the car cover on? Seems like either it's a dumb design or I am a dumb owner as when you attach the lead in the rear number plate recess and then pull the cover down, the tension pulls at the lead and disconnects it.

    Either the connector should be turned through 90 degrees so the lead is no longer protruding backwards or I need help?

    From what you describe the more popular 488 has the same (questionable) design as the TdF - putting the cover in place and keeping the battery charger still connected is always a challenge (it's possible but not easy...)
    And as you mention the solution would be to have the connector turned 90 degrees (either on the car or on the cable) but I did not investigate whether it's an easy change or not.

    for as brilliant an idea as it was to move the tender connection outside the car, and to use the Mag-Safe connection, the only solution I came up with was to sew a "button hole" that we can access the tender connection spot with the cover on.

    We did this with an extra F12 cover we had. The FF has it but we drive it frequently enough we've never had the cover on it...

    Also, if you haven't had the new Mag-Safe tender adaptor before, I'd suggest doing a visual check after you connect it to make sure the tender is connected; we've "connected" it a few times and if it's off by a few millimeters, it will stick to the car but not connect.

    I posted this when I first had the car home. Bizarre as it sounds, I've bought an exterior cover to use inside. The exterior cover has slightly more space, I put on the cover then slip my hand up the back, have a quick fiddle and connection made. Far from ideal but works for me.
