Moving on

I'm going to push back against the black wheels again. They simply look horrid and are a waste of one of the nicest F-wheel designs to come out of Maranello.

Here's what a giallo 812 looks like with the black TdF wheels. All the detail is lost and the wheel arch becomes a black hole.

Here's the current look of the car - much classier. But I also appreciate that a darker wheel (not necessarily black) shows the calipers better.

So how about a grey or diamond cut grey wheel? (apologies for the F12 TdF, I couldn't find this wheel on a yellow 812)

Apologies for the last two - they crept into the post and I can't delete them but the last one shows an all grey twist wheel on a yellow 812SF and the penultimate pic is a close up of the diamond cut TdF wheel on a blue 812SF

 

I was told to look into installing Skid Plates under the front bumper of my 812 Superfast
If anyone out there knows how much it costs and if it’s worth it
Please let us know

I had my dealer install skid plates for $2,035. Not sure they are necessary. I have a lifter and have never rubbed the front end. I guess it’s better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

 

Did you have it done at your local F dealer?
Can you please post pictures? I’m thinking about doing it for on my 812.
Thanks.

 

Yes, my Ferrari dealer. Unfortunately, I do not have any pics, and the car is at our lake house for the winter. I hope to get up there in the next couple weeks. When I do, I’ll be sure and take some photos. I wish I could help sooner.

 

Thank You.
