My first Ferrari - Scud

Make sure you request no watches or belts, before the driver gets in to pull your car out. Just to prevent any accidental scratches.

 

Oh yes. and here is another little tip. Take off your seatbelt slowly. If you unbuckle it at whip it off, good chance that thing will fly around and hit the carbon fibre door - and nick it.

 

I learned this quickly, because the previous owners did this to my 360. The driver's side door pocket was chipped pretty bad, but got it repainted for free with my front bumper respray. Make sure you tell passengers you give rides to every time to remind them.

 

Ahhhhhhh....good point. Will keep that in mind.

 

Many congrats, the wait must be killing.
I see you call the colour 'Nuovo Rosso Scuderia', is this yet another name for the colour as the PPG codes for the colour are 'Rosso Formula 1 2007' or 'Nuovo Rosso F1'. Of course 'Scuderia' is a reference to Formula 1 anyway so very likely a third name.
What ever it is called you will love it. And don't forget - pictures, pictures, pictures.

Its a special car...congrats. Don't let the minor issues on arrival get you down. It will (to use a phrase!) "buff out" or someone will be making it right for you!

Enjoy.

 

Wow, I just thought they draped some plastic over it? Looks like they tried to shrink wrap it. Must have not been perfectly clean. Some polish with a PC and red or black pads should get that out. Mine is supposed to coming with the factory car cover on.

Did you ship enclosed, or open? Who was the shipper?

 

Great looking car. That should be able to be polished out but whoever did the original job of installing the wrap (or removing it) did a really poor one. That shouldn't happen.

400 miles... the previous owner was an idiot. But, his stupidity is in your benefit.

 

beautiful machine, enjoi in good health

 

Congrats on the new Ferrari.....but I gotta ask, the passenger door looks like a different shade ?? Has it been painted or is just me......not being a basher but it really struck me at first glance. Either way she's a sweet ride.

 

The plastic reacted to the clear coat or trapped moisture. What he did was a big boo boo. Let's hope it can be professionally polished.

 

Very nice new car
Congrats

 

Looks like he put the plastic over the oil that had already dripped on your car? I would call your lawyer just in case. You have a very spendy paint job. I would show this to Todd at Esoteric first.

Couldn't the race car have gone on the bottom level? The dealership should have also been a little bit more proactive, and watched where your car was being placed on the trailer.

Again, sorry you are having to go through this.

 

And the door, repainted ? Or is it just my eyes..

 

I see what you are talking about. Russell could chime in if the sun hitting the car a certain way would cause this effect, but it does look that way, good eye.

Must be the sun, don't see it here in the passenger side profile photo?

Hopefully I'm wrong but check it out since you have the other pending issue. I'm still baffled by the arrangement of a Scud under a leaking Race Car! Would love to know who's call that was. Good Luck

 

Dude sweet ride!!!! You've been waiting for a loooong time. Another Tulsa dude bought a rossa corsa scud in Tulsa a few weeks ago.

You will need a paint correction I bet. Just get them to pay for it. I would have went ballistic.

Who is the driver so we know not to use that moron ever again.

You will need to buff all those scratches out of the clear.

 

I think it will be the sun but I must admit I'm not familiar with quite this effect, did the camera flash go off? Fingers crossed when you have a look properly.
What a bummer about the wrap marks, difficult to see in pictures but are they rub marks in the clear coat or something on top of the clear coat? Do you have any sort of clear bra in this area?

 

Congrats!! Looks great. Don't sweat the small stuff, detail it if it bugs you...enjoy it in good health.

 

I'm sure the paint willl be good after a quick rub.


The driver has a few choices when hauling.
99% of the time they load them for as little movement as possible. As a customer do you want them inn your car at every stop unloading and reloading? The cars are situated and loaded so he touches them as little as possible.

I hope it's nothing but I'd prefer they don't get in and out 6 times while feathering it onto the tailgate to get it out of the way. It's very hard on cars. Sliding into the seat etc
