    In this case, and many other notable cases, bigger is better.

    For this car large shields in my opinion. On my ordered Puro I went with no shields. No right answer of course. Just preference

    I think it really leans into the rest of the spec, I am definitely no shields on mine, but have seen specs with painted shields that look great

    Cars without shields will have and always have had lower resale value.

    2nd hand users of the cars this is typically an absolute must have option.

    It doesn't matter if it's hand painted or std shields. Just get them or it will cost you probably 10k on trade in.


    I love the hand painted sheileds. They always do the proportions better with the hand painted sheileds. They are a more appropriate size than the smaller std shields. But I'm glad they offer both.

    I gave in and specced painted shields for 12Ci in the end. Go big or go home, I suppose.

    My 296 doesn't have shields and I kind of prefer it that way but I know it'll hit me on resale.
