    That may be my favorite color leather. Stunning. Not too bright, not too dark. Just right.

    Pininfarina designs continue to age well (as they always have). And unlike Manzoni designs, do not polarize.

    Far be it for me to question you Marcel but I thought that only plastic was available for the rear bumper lower valence. Carbon diffuser vanes and fog light housing were an option but if you want a zero plastic and full carbon rear, you have to go aftermarket - no?

    Full carbon rear only became a factory option on the 812.

    You are absolutely right. No factory carbon for the rear

    I made a thread about an aftermarket solution , back in the days.

    I agree with the other comments that the F12 is aging beautifully. This is a picture I took 10 years ago of my grigio titanio F12 that I commuted into New York City with, completed about 40,000 miles in total, still one of the highest mile F12 I have heard of. I had two sets of wheels, the silver for summer tires and the black which had winter tires, as well as two sets of aerobridges, one with black shields and one with no shields. Such a great car and I miss it.

    As a matter of curiosity, how challenging/difficult was swapping out the aerobridges?

    Not difficult but was done at the dealer, maybe an hour of labor. I generally kept the black shields because the second set of areo bridges just came primed and then I had to have them painted grigio titanio but the color never exactly matched so that always annoyed me.

    Here is a picture of the aero bridges with no shields and if you zoom in you can see the color is wrong.

    They look slightly darker. Nothing a little more slush can't fix.
    Bravo for the 12 month usage!!

    Unfortunately no it because it became impossible with the traffic, so am forced to take the sad train. Early reports are that congestion charging is having some impact to reduce traffic in NYC so maybe there is hope for the future!

    As far as history of this car goes this color seems to be factory and not a repaint. Originally from New Mexico I believe
