355 Jay Kay’s sweet purple GTS

It's great there are still owners who have the balls to do such things, if only to make frustrated old wives stuck on their pro 100% original stance cringe. I'm sure that car is in better overall condition than many others with their original paint.

I'm semi-apologizing for bumping the thread when I'm the last previous reply but I do have relevant info to add.

I love it now. I think he nailed what he was going after. Here's my thinking:

Jay Kay is a big Ferrari guy and owns a lot of them. He keeps his Ferraris OEM as far as I can tell... I think all he does is change the colors if anything. On this one he wanted to do something different. He's Jay Kay afterall and, he's a connoisseur. Only real car guys know where that color is from and it's period correct and complements the lines. It has always been a pretty color and the F355 is a very pretty car. Not to mention that it fits his personality. He even painted the calipers to complement but kept the wheels stock... He knew exactly what he wanted.

One highlight of the 30th Anniversary event in Japan was seeing them in all the different colors. It was grin inducing taking in such a quantity of beauty. You just spend hours staring at each one and this is a color I can't keep my eyes off of.

Maybe I'm crazy. I know I'm Mr. Modifying-a-Ferrari-is-sacrilege yet, I think it's great. Look at all the eyeballs on the internet looking at a F355 and drooling. The passion is spreading. The pulse is quickening. Jay Kay is a true ambassador of Ferrari and now, the F355.

Just my two cents. I had to get it off my mind.

Celebrities get a pass for stepping outside of the box. If Johnk painted his car this color we’d be having a different conversation.
