    Supercar is already available among the "3/4 layer" paint options. This screenshot is from a video I took of the different reds available at the dealer. Supercar (No.5 starting from top left) is noticeably the brightest, but at the same time it appears almost orange when next to all the others. The closest match might actually be Rosso TRS (last one). I don't recall all of them as I was in a hurry but my dealer doesn't have a Magma sample yet. Almost sure the one before last is Libano.

    Looks lovely, but it's not available in the option list so not in consideration.

    Magma gets an orange/copper thing going, but it’s red.

    In the price list that someone posted for the Speciale, I saw the following options, but for the racing seats only:
    Racing-Sitze Diamond-Pattern RSXD 3.850,00 4.581,50
    Racing-Sitze Plain-Pattern RSXP 3.850,00 4.581,50
    Racing-Sitze Square-Pattern RSXQ 3.850,00 4.581,50
    I assume that you are looking for the square pattern seats, but I only saw that for the racing seats. That doesn‘t mean its not possible, but the option was not on that list.

    Just be sure to look at more than one picture of each color. Lipstick sometimes doesnt look quite like that in the picture.

    - note the Ferrari Shields on the headrest that you asked about earlier here.

    Rosso Coburn may have been renamed. I think Ferrari recently started renaming colors that were named after the customer who commissioned it. For example, Grigio Coburn became Grigio Competizione. Can anyone confirm if this is true? I don't know for sure.

    I'm not a fan of shields on the headrest...
    I think the stitched horse (in a color that goes with the overall palette) is the best option for headrest.

    That shield headrest was a characteristic I first saw on the Alonso Edition 599 GTB 60 F1 of 2011 and 2012. THE stitched horse is still the strong favorite today.

    Check out Rosso Lipstick, odd name but made his significant other happy.
    Poland Ferrari dealer uses it often - google video Lipstick Ferrari Poland - couple F cars in that color - great videos to show off special paints.
    Interior went with blue electrico - white stitching. I start with the interior and then match the car around it - not sure it's a smart idea but it eliminates exterior brain damage.

    I’m considering the full shield this time. Maybe something like this:

    Went with matching painted numbers - only outline / outline shield on head rest.
    Hated the # thing - went light, such a waste and left the inside body color. prefer the blue carbon to be the stand out - robbed your blue for the number and stripe.
    Your shield looks great / matches the painted esp on a roadster.
    One day Ferrari may allow a different painted shield - yellow is tough on a lot of specs.

    Number outline looks cool, I like that better. @Lagunae92 I also prefer horse stitched on headrest rather than the full shield on headrest, but I don't have much style, so take that how you will. To give you an example of this, my last 7 cars have been black/black. I like what I like

    lol. All good! It’s nice to have options. I’ve always wanted to spec the full shield, but the outline one is also great, and I have not used that either.

    Thanks.
    The painted # is all one price - no additional 3-4 layer. I found humor in they are painting the line over n over.
    The inside number same thing - went with body color Cervino, so they are painting the same thing twice - again twisted humor as joke is on me.

    Your seats look great. I'm torn because there are no other design options for the best weight, even at TM, but there are some great ones with the race seats.

    To me, the shield should always be the traditional colors, as they all stand for something. My opinion is once you deviate from that, you might as well let replace the SF with peoples initials. Of course, it’s their rodeo….

    I have Grigio Coburn 22' GTB. So it still existed at that point in time.

    Too late as many opt out of shields - have Carbon shields on 16M others place country flag - we are already there. Many dealers are offering painted shields for 2500.00 - I've seen initials just not factory.

    It is a long video too, you would think they could have taken some footage in the sun before uploading!

    Thanks, also very comfortable / support - adding racing harness to match.
    I think there are and new materials - advantage to late spec is VIP specs passed down.
    Suggest talking to someone who really knows Italy TM - they will help for a fee, took a year to get wing in blue carbon.
