    We almost did metallic grey instead but the Blu Corsa is just so damn good.

    Still waiting to hear, he's itemizing it all. Our Roma was 315k build, and this should be around 470K. The carbon wheels while expensive, were a must on this car. The other wheel options just didn't work.

    Looks fantastic.

    If I may humbly make a suggestion, I would consider shield delete.

    Yellow shield with yellow calipers works, but all those different colors (blue, red, yellow, black, and not to mention the amber side marker) that close to each other is a little disharmonious to my eye ... but of course that's just my ocd screaming, :)

    ^ i tend to agree. silver calipers would look good. sometimes less is more.

    Congrats. Just my own opinion but red and blue don’t work together easily.

    I like the red caliper as they tie in the red interior…. Each his own…. Blue Corsa with silver calipers and black-silver interior would be sweet too.

    Congratulations! Looks amazing. Quick question for you...is this an allocation you received when the order books were open? Or was your dealer able to find you a new allocation/spot just now?

    Update. I'll be re-speccing the car some. It's still "changeable" so I'm going to remove some interior red and go a little more safe. I'll update when it's done! Thanks!

    No offense meant to OP but dealership salesman can get clients excited by having them spec cars to their liking even if no allocation has been given to them or even exists. They'll always take deposits for cars whether they have confirmed allocations or not. So, just because they let you configure a car doesn't mean they have a slot for you. In the end, they just turn around and give you the, "Sorry, Ferrari cut back slots and your slot is one of them but, we have this gently used model if you'd like to buy"

    The salesman is a buddy of mine. We are good. We have an allocation, I understand what you mean though!

    I posted this on another thread. It looks like either a customer or a dealer has gone for a similar Blu Corsa/Rosso scheme on an early GTS here.
