    Vinyl may be great on cheap cars but not on a Ferrari imo - just works toward cheapening the whole look of the car. You can always tell it's vinyl too.

    Ferrari paint has a lot of orange peel so vinyl stripes or roof wrap always look rubbish
    No peel on lambos or mcl so they can get away with it

    But that is just small badging such as gt2rs or gt3rs on the rear or side. I think using small doses of vinyl can be got away with but when you start talking of doing whole roofs and massively wide stripes it's a different story. Not saying it can't or shouldn't be done - did it myself on my tts roof - but it definitely cheapened the look of the car and people do notice. In hindsight I should have just bit the bullet and had the roof section sprayed gloss black. Would never vinyl a 488 roof or put massively wide vinyl striping over the hood but hey that's just me. if I found a look I really liked and wanted to change what was supplied from factory Id take it to the panel shop and get it properly sprayed in an paint oven/booth.

    Not really. My mate had a green Lambo H and did the black roof and a few other areas around the car and you could tell it was vinyl. The car looked great from a distance but up close it worked against the value of what Lambo had provided. To my eyes Mac and Lambo paint look equally as good quality as Ferrari Paint in fact dare I say better than on some F cars i've seen.

    Prettiest car by Ferrari since the Challenge Stradale. Hands down.

    Yes it is. Ferrari North Europe press cars had the same or similar registration plates. 488 GTB had the same, 488 Spider had: ''S8 FNE'', GTC4 LUSSO had ''V8 FNE'', F12 TDF had: ''F12 FNE'' etc.

    Once you go Blue TDF you never come back.
    I started years ago with a 360 Stradale, then an FF, then a LaFerrari, and now the Pista, which arrived today, and to this one I added the white,red stripes.
    All of them Blue TDF
