    Finally wrapping up the specs for my 12cilindri project, and I’m pretty excited about where it’s going. It’s been a journey balancing performance and aesthetics, but I think I’ve got something special here. attached the specs and colors.

    For those who’ve done similar projects – is there anything you’d suggest reconsidering? Whether it’s another color combo, a feature I might be overlooking, or even a different material for the interior? Would love to hear your thoughts, especially on making this a true head-turner without going overboard.

    Looks fantastic, giving me knight-rider vibes... I would maybe invert the dashboard colour ways. The red going on the lower section and black on the upper, just because of reflections... otherwise great spec, congratulations.

    IMHO I would delete the red lining on the rims; it's too much.
    Keep the red just inside as it's already drawing your gaze in.
    No need to reinforce that on the exterior.

    I agree! But if you love don’t let anyone stop you from creating what you like :)

    I thought the same thing, I spec-ed mine with a black upper dash because of reflections.

    I dig it. any way to get rid of the antenna or whatever it is on the roof? really messes up the lines and bit of an eye sore. I have a smaller one on my F12 (as most do) and it really just fouls up the flow.

    It’s not an antenna - it’s a camera.
    You get rid of it if you just opt out 360 surround view.

    Agreed. I actually have a red dash on my 296 and the reflections are very noticeable and distracting.

    agreed wit hall above points.
    First and foremost; do what you like!
    The upper dash is extremely prone to reflections, most owners who do choose in in a colour except black end up regretting this.
    Even Atelier and Tailormade do suggest keeping it in black due to reflections....

    I agree with everyone's comments on the dash reflection and red line on the rims. Would not get run flats but consider adding homelink and panoramic roof as it lightens up the interior (unless you intend to drive it a lot during hot days). Also, like aluminum driver & passenger footrest, back radar, and leather headliner instead of the course fabric.

    tailor made should bring back the old Ferrari 'mouse hair' dash covering like the 1970 365 GTB/4 used!

    Yeah, the lighter dash will reflect. Maybe black dash with Bordeaux or red seats?

    Alcantara doesn't have much reflectivity.
    Im not sure that applied to red colored Alcantara

    The interior design of the 12C is full of shapes, patterns , materials.

    If one adds more to the design complexity then the result is less pleasing

    I would Remove the shields or the red Line on the rims - having Both is too much for my Taste.
    But anyway congrats!

    The black rims don't fit, same for the red edging around... Don't forget "less is more"

    Indeed, all black exterior except for the silver trim details mostly at the front and those rear exhaust tips plus polished silver optional wheels. The fender shields are mostly dictated by the resale market but if you must have them...
    The interior is easy all black but with red for the lower dash and the carpet. Also no red stripe on the seats but the center section of the seats done in red material instead. Leather for the headliner is a good idea to. Red dreamlines for the paddles to safely carry the red a bit higher for the interior. No red seat belts then. For the Carbon Fibre steering wheel use the same cf material for the console instead of silver. Just my thoughts.
