Alonso was featured as the driver of the triple yellow 458 spider in the factory video. Amazing that Alonso is still racing in F1!

I need everyone's honest opinion about the build featured in this Classic Driver article. Link below but I will also upload the photos for convenience. This is a Nero DS car. No external carbon. Standard wheels ... based on what we all discussed many times you would think it would look very plain but somehow, I think it looks amazing. And it's making me reconsider my build ... given that this spec will cost much less ... and still looks so good. Specifically: the black plastic bumper ... which is usually an eye sore, seems to disappear with the Nero color .. or at least you don't focus on it. And the car has a raw look to it that makes it very appealing.

Yes I know that For reference my spec is Rosso Imola and full carbon outside etc. But I am asking about this spec in particular because I find it very impactful. And the cost for PPE1 – Exterior Painted Plastic Parts Pack in Glossy Black (Nero DS 1250) is: 15.550 GBP But then they would be the exact same color as the car, and perhaps would not look good.
I saw a black car with PPE1 at my dealer and it looked really good. With black I think this is a better look than the carbon. The standard plastic may look okay in photos but looks terrible, to my eye, on an actual car, particularly the side sills.
Do most of you like this wheel design? I’m surprised as this is a bit edgy when standing still with the knife like blades that seem a bit more other brand than classic. This car is such a mashup of supposed old concepts and future that it seems to have difficulty knowing how to identify itself.
There is nothing plain about a blacked out car as it can look super cool. I don’t think any carbon is needed at all in general.
I would say to some degree the finish on the wheels dictate the finish for the trim pieces. The basic plastic trim pieces seem to work OK with the gray wheels here. It also masks the lower parts of the car to some degree in effect lowering the car. The glossy black plastic parts for what Ferrari charges for them seem very poor value. Adding the relatively small upcharge on the glossy parts cost to get the carbon trim seems to give much more pleasure than looking at shiny black plastic. Also if the shiny black plastic gets damaged new painted replacement parts may not match? For shiny optional wheels carbon is the perfect fit. Black on red is certainly a classic look. Not sure a black car would be first choice for a hot climate like Arizona or elsewhere with a lot of heat... compared to the
I think the new wheel design pictured goes with that styling better than the classic 5 spoke design on the base wheel. Ferrari used the base wheel on the launch edition of the Spider to much praise. It's really down to personal preferences as I can see a good argument made for either version. Also different colors like gray or gold further personalize the choices.
This color scheme is classic and timeless. Today market and philosophy, with its tailor-made designs and various contrasting stripe options, dreamlines, has led people to believe that a classic combination is plain. But that's not the case. Note that the 250 GTO, 275 GTB, F40, F50, Enzo, and so on, have classic combinations, without excessive contrasting elements, and are classic and timeless. The 12C Nero DS is beautiful. I would opt for silver calipers (will enhance the gray wheels) and white or gray stitching. And, for the interior, Bordeaux instead of Rosso. I really like this wheel, a classic 5-spoke. It will still look beautiful in 20 years. I would definitely opt for the lower parts painted gloss black. Matte plastic, especially on sunny days or in brighter environments, looks cheap. Body-colored lower parts have always looked great; see the 550 or 599, for example.
