    This was sold my my local dealer (Modena Cars in Geneva) few months back and now up for sale again on consignment by a 3rd party garage, don't think the new owner has driven it at all. Below from the current garage they claim it is the only one in this colour.

    **START**
    The vehicle was ordered in silver with red calipers and golden rims.
    When it was finished in the factory, the customer changed everything at Ferrari directly.
    The paint on Azzurro La Plata, the rims were exchanged for gray and the brake calipers for black.
    There are carbon parts of the company Novitec obstruct, but you can dismantle it.
    **END**

    What do you guys think of the spec, the situation (factory repaint etc) and value? I have my Nero Opaco 458 up for sale in Zurich but am considering taking it back (would add the carbon steering wheel) miss it too much.

    Thank you

    In my opinion, an absolutely disgusting spec.

    I'd keep the Nero Opaco 458 if I were you.

    I'm not familiar with the European market, so I won't comment on value.

    Specwise, I personally think it's hideous. Also, I. Don’t think the Novitec front hood vent and air splitter are removable since they are screwed in.

    Don’t like the “story” around this car, the Spec detracts from what is an amazing model and turns it into a mess. Fall back on your 458 and smile knowing that you have done the right thing.

    You turned down the 458 Speciale EuroTrance Edition.

    Well done!

    This Speciale could be an awesome purchase. If it was $50k cheaper than any out there, I'd buy it, wrap it, fix the front splitter and drive the wheels off of it.

    It's better than black at least.
