Something Speciale arrived...

[Pioneer]

Very nice, another nod to the no stripe. Congrats and enjoy

[pastrana72]

Wow, That looks fantastic.

I have seen a few pictures of a couple of speciales without the stripe and they look great.

I like the stripe options but think i prefer it without.

The black roof really makes the look of this car. Look forward to seeing more pictures when you have picked it up.

The cars without the stripe can be seen in the flickr ferrari 458 Speciale group link here,

Very nice - much better without the stripe. Would be very interested by a further review of how the car drives when you put on a few miles...

[rosino]

Wow. Looks absolutely stunning. Saw one on weird plates today in Central London and it does look very Speciale.. With or without stripes.. Enjoy the beast!!

Hi Andrew! Yes I changed the spec last minute, whilst the grey with stripe looked nice I thought the red with black roof would suit better! All other spec is the same as we spec'ed at the factory though! Bet you can't wait for yours to arrive!!?!

To Joe Public looks like a normal 458 - needs a stripe to stand out, if you want to stand out

Joe Public wouldn't have a clue what the stripe relates to, but will probably think a stunning car has been ruined by some cheap halford go fast stripes

I'll put money on the one Top Gear tests will have a stripe on it and that'll be how people recognise the car.

PS great car - very envious.

Matt,you're right can't wait.I think May so hopefully stopped raining by then.
I added carbon fibre engine bay but otherwise left my spec the same.
Yours looks brilliant.Any coincidence it looks a bit like a minature LaFerrari ???
