    Mac- Definitely unique on that one. About as far from red and tan as you can get. Enjoy driving her. I assume that is white/pearl and not pale blue as it appears in the photos?

    Sorry!
    For my opinion it's a shame what many people do with their ferraris! If you wanna have a car with black backlights, black-yellow wheels and mate colors you can buy a VW Golf GTI. Or a matchbox-car! But don't do this to a Ferrari. Have fun when you sell it again!
    I think that i speak for many other people!
    Sorry: My opinion --- hate it

    The other white cars in the pic look white...it must be pale blue.

    Sorry Terry, yes she did! But i can't remember. She died 1998.

    I can't believe that people think that's beautiful. For me a Ferrari must be original. I've said this in another thread long time ago!
    I also don't like all the hamann-, novitec-, mansory- or any other spoiler-kits!
    But once again!!! THAT'S MY OPINION! I find it to barf!

    Is it a wrap on the car...I got the impression that is what we were looking at... If that is the case it can be removed when time to sell, or when you get tired of looking at it and changed to anything else you want. That is the good thing about the wraps. Now if it was painted, that is a different story and to each his own on that one, but when you get a Ferrari away from Red/yellow/black exteriors then your ability to sell it goes down precipitously.

    It is unique and I am on the fence about it... have to look at the pics some more.

    That sounds vaguely familiar, but I never was a good listener...

    That 599 is HIDEOUS! What a crime :(

    TOTALLY AWESOME! I love wraps, it's like buying a new set of clothes for your car. He can always go back to stock.

    Fantastic looking car! I do believe it is a wrap, this must be the car Derek was talking about in the Singapore thread.

    I'd leave the horse at the back silver though, that way it'll stand out even more.

    Looks really nice
    don't take offense to the people here- a lot of people are purists when it comes to Fcars

    That being said I'd lose the black on the trunk and just keep it to the canopy
    and lose the blackout lights

    other than that- its the bee's tits

    Yep that's the one .. I saw it the day before (when it was all black) and the day after the wrap. I must admit I prefered the before, but each to their own. As pointed out, it is a wrap so it can be removed so no harm done.

    Mac599, when you going to visit us in the Singapore forum?

    The only ugly part of this thread is some of the opinions.

    Mac, I think your 599 looks fantastic...! Your only problem is that you didn't post enough pictures - please post more...! I would have to go through all of the pictures of different 599s that I've seen - but off of the top of my head, I think yours is my favorite.

    +1, but I still think it's unique and creative.

    Wow so it's not a black wrap on a white car but the base car is really matte black and the wrap is the white bits?
