A beauty. Congrats!
Don't know what their (Centro Stile) collaboration really meant on F12, because they were still like on an internship at Pininfarina. And the F12 got the badge 'disegno pininfarina', which on the other hand, you cannot find just a bit later on a F12 TdF (which is clearly a continuation of design by Pininfarina studio). Centro Stile is 'proud' to state they designed the TdF. There is no pininfarina badge but if you only have eyes (and soul), you can clearly see and feel the pininfarina design, just slightly modified. Also on LaFerrari, which Centro Stile claims 100% their own design, you can find a lot of pininfarina influence, starting from 458 italia's design and e.g. vertical headlamps and so on. To me, the best pininfarina designs have such beauty and 'flow' that current Centro Stile cannot reproduce starting from scratch. Manzoni's designs are interesting and not bad at all, but also seem disjointed in many cases (812SF, SF90, 296, ... and ehm ... Puro)
Haven't checked lately but for years PF claimed the design of the F12 as a section on their homepage. The F12tdf is an F12 with the typical VS alterations. It did not get the badge because those changes were done by Ferrari on the PF car. Last PF Ferrari was F12B. End of an era spanning almost 70 years. Also the last Ferrari design for Sergio Pininfarina who had a close relationship with Enzo at the helm of PF. Sergio died in 2012.
The F 12 is designed by Pininfarina, and we owe it to Werner Gruber. For the TDF, it is the Ferrari style center and Andrea Militello

Couple pics of my new to me 2014. Found the spec I wanted and jumped on it. Learned a lot here first, thank you all. This is my first Ferrari. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The tyres are needing changed, currently on Pirelli but always like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres on other cars I have. Any strong views?
Yes definitely upgrade to the MPS4S, there's another thread on here you can search for that goes into detail. But go with standard 265s up front and 315 K1 designation in the rear. I have seen cars in person with 255 up front and there is not enough tire width.
