    Can you believe I didn't see the red belts until you noted them? Oddly out of place!

    I'm confident the US-spec, red seat belt F12 could perfectly be british racing green. BRG is not really darker in sunlight than what shows there. The UK F12, I studied it long ago and I think it was metallic, in which case the most probable shade would be Verde Zeltweg indeed.

    I thought I understood Marcel M. that his Verde Seabird is even darker than BRG. I hope he reads and can clarify these last greens.

    Here's my Verde Seabird F12 again. It makes a HUGE difference if seen inside or outside in the sunlight. Yes, all the same car (#228775) in these four pictures.

    Cannot answer the question right now.

    Will do asap.
    And yes, will take pix.

    NObody noticed the red seatbelt F12 doesn't have fender shields either just like Marcel's F12...

    Rear cover/shelf looks horrible in black instead of interior color.

    Also, on mine the back of the seats are covered with leather Cuoio Toscano as well, not bare black.

    Sills below doors are not body color but grigio opaco to match the piece at the rear.

    Is there a difference between Cuoio Toscano and what is commonly called Cuoio leather ?

    I very much like the grigio opaco for the sport sills rather than body color but some people don't want to break up the flow of the body color. The black on the parcel shelf and seat backs of the red seatbelts F12 is rather glaring when you point it out. However you have the keen and familiar eye of an F12 owner. It is the small details that can elevate the design result. With that in mind did you ever consider ordering the fender shields with that green you chose?

    FYI the Italian word "cuoio" means leather. Any leather, no matter which color. Cuoio = leather. Cuoio rosso, or cuoio blu, or cuoio verde, or cuoio arancia, etc.

    You probably mean Cuoio Naturale (natural leather) or Beige VM 3218.

    Cuoio Toscano is totally different, more orange-ish (less beige). It is a semi-aniline leather.

    Absolutely not. I don't need six prancing horses, scripts and badges on the outside of my F12.
    That's neither elegant nor discreet.

    Thanks ! I thought the word for leather was "pelle" and Cuoio was for "Brown"

    I was fooled by the fact that at least on this forum, the word "Cuoio" is only used to name Brown leather...

    After a quick search "Pelle " is the raw skin and and "Cuoio" the skin after tanning process.
