    Hmmm. You have some hard ones. I can scroll through my favorites but need to be in the car to write it up....will do manana. Need to check the light/button you are talking about. Not sure on key box...mine was flown over so I don’t have manuals or other bits yet but it’s going in the first week of Jan for a sw update and I will hopefully get that stuff then. Loving it though!

    Thanks

    My manuals didn’t show up either. The key presentation, while cheesy, was a neat addition to the delivery experience. It comes with all sorts of “stuff”, including a car specific plaque that looks like it goes somewhere. It’s funny, they gave the dealers a bunch of instructions but didn’t explain what everything is.

    I’m also considering an 812. Do you feel like they’re good compliments? The GTS obviously adds the open air aspect but would you recommend it if it was a fixed roof?

    I think an 812 would be a good complimentary car to the Roma, the sheer theatre of the V12 makes it a very different car in all senses.

    Hello all,
    Does anyone have any photos of standard wheels in matt Grigio Corsa finish?
    I’ve noticed that virtually every photo has standard wheels (matt silver finish) or chrome (shiny silver finish), even on the darker painted cars.
    I feel that darker wheels would look better on a darker painted car (I’m going for Blu Roma), but i don’t like the forged style wheels. So would appreciate a photo before I finalise my spec. Hard to trust the configurator, and I’ve drawn a blank online.
    Cheers.

    That plate is the options on the Roma and is in the trunk of the car. Not sure you could add any more options. That car had to be well over $300 k.

    And most importantly, it’s got an umbrella!

    I’m talking about this plate that comes in the second tray of the key box. It has nubs on the back that are tapped and appear to be designed to adhere to something. Not the option plaque on the car.


    I should have ordered the luggage, it’s great looking.

    yeah, the key feels substantial and valuable in your hand. The ceramic is so well made and detailed. Wish it was a bit smaller like 7/8ths or 3/4s but it’s very nice.

    Sorry I don't know the answer for you regarding that plate. It looks like a replica of an old style Ferrari plate...

    Thanks for the update. I still have a cheap plastic back to the key so hoping the real ones are in next week.
    Absolutely on the 812. The sounds, as noted above, is completely different and epic. It also handles and steers very differently. Almost feels like a mid engine car...which it kind of is. It also feels like a traditional Ferrari and I mean that in the most complimentary way. Love them both but if there was only one it would be the GTS.

    Damnit, that’s what I thought you’d say. Lol probably going to have to get serious about the V12.

    That said, I’m surprised how impressed I am by the Roma. Absolutely love it. Those still waiting have a lot to look forward to...

    I wish you could get the front grill in a polished finish.

    Can you tell us more about the “2nd key box”. When did it arrive, how long after your delivery etc. thank you. My car has been at port for 5 weeks and now finally with the shipper to bring to me, just trying to anticipate what to expect as my dealer is a 1,000 miles away from me. Thank you again.

    Sure. You get a box at delivery that contains your keys and the tools to move the ceramic covering from one to the other. The top tray comes out and underneath is the stuff I posted the picture of. I’m sure they’ll put it in your car for transport. It’s just their way to fancy up the key experience.

    This grill looks quite a shiny metal, could possibly have it polished (assuming it is metal?).
