Spec'd up the Speciale
Discussion
Agree with what has been said.
I would figure out what you want done first. Once thats decided, then figure out who does it best.
If you have ordered an out of range paint from Ferrari - then it is painted pretty well - flattened off, rub down and then top coat. If you have a standard colour (i.e. off the colour palette) then basically you car will look like orange peel! I may have OCD - but the difference between Lamborghini paintwork and Ferrari is pretty noticeable.....
Figure out what paint correction you want have done (go goggle it!) - my dealer automatically applied a level 2 paint correction, which a lot of people are happy with. I'm going for level 5 paint protection (so that's about 85% from perfection).
Then you have the paint protection. I wouldn't bother with anything other than self healing paint protection (there are two sorts) - and you decide whether you want the front bumper, or the front half of the car, or the entire car wrapped. Given the aero on a Speciale - I Opted for the entire car to be wrapped in self healing PPF.
I wouldn't worry about the nearest. I would find the best - and most will arrange to collect/return your cars.

Yes - experience can be frustrating.....the MyFerrari website is so rubbish - just as well they're not a tech company!
I popped down to see my car pre-PDI to take some photo's etc. Miserable weather - but asked them to take it outside in this biblical downpour - I felt sorry for the technician!. I love the gold wheels too. With the NART stripe - the Rosso Scuderia and my blingy wheels - It looks great in super flat light - can't wait to see it in strong sunlight - I think it's going to look fab.
Only bummer is how it will take to do the paint protection/protection - 10 days! Ho hum - there are worse problems in life!

I totally agree with you - why wouldn't spec your own car to exactly your specification - Well played sir!

Not sure if you are going to track your car, but if you do, can you add the telemetry and track camera options? Truly Epic. Have amazing footage from Spa (twice) and Anglesey.
Also, really good to meet PheonixUK too! Did you get your tyre sorted out?
A
Hey PhoenixUK! I hope you're well. Can't be too long to go now!
I checked the telemetry and had a best of 2:41 - but was was holding back a little as there were a couple of cars that I didn't want to too close too - and sure enough one had a coming together with a 991 Cup Car - but I think the car is capable of around 2:30. Will be heading back again - after my next race!
Amazing weather!
