    Yep, you did. Thanks man! I don't know how many points we got. Maybe I'll email Pietro and ask, and also thank him for organizing such a great event.

    Congrats. Great car.

    Hopefully I get a deal sorted on a great 550 this week as well, will post some pics if I do. Can't wait to drive one - I'm still a virgin!

    I hope so - that's the point of getting one!

    Attached is a pic. It's Porsche Nachtblau (nightblue metallic). It's the original colour, quite unique, and quite stunning I think.

    I love the Maranello. Such an understated beast.

    I thought that you lost points for aftermarket shields? And I don't know of any 550s that came with factory shields?

    It's one of the reasons I don't enter my car.

    Not trying to be a jerk, I'm genuinely curious.

    Hey, 550's were indeed able to be ordered with factory shields-- our car has them.

    Yep, about 50% of 550's I've seen have had the shields and mostly that was original.

    Excellent colour and the combination of that interior is stunning.

    Thanks! Decision is made, will call the dealer in a couple of hours (still closed - grafting hard here in the early morning hours)! I'll open another thread with some more pics once deal is done.

    To prevent completely hijacking this thread, I'll respond to this in a separate thread.

    [EDIT: I was responding to a question by synchro in a post that seems to have been removed]
