Is This The Best Pista Ever ?

488 is not a looker in any colour IMO. Whereas this is:

The blue and yellow one is horrible. I don’t like matt paint, the headlights look nasty and the interior is way too much for me. But hey ho, it’s not my car. If the owner is happy, that’s the main thing.

That looks just like my 458 Italia at first glance..If i could afford a Pista it would be a Grigio Silverstone all the way, identical to the one above for sale at Romans. Bright coloured Porsches are too flashy where i live let alone similar hued Ferraris.

Why get a car in a stupid tacky blue colour scheme like that. It's a fantastic design, those colours inside & out make it look like a child's toy

I heard a story that the blue car with yellow stripes in the original post was rejected by the specifier cos he didn't like how it turned out.....

Rejected it from the dealership?

How can you blame Ferrari for your own hideous taste?

If he’s a very good customer and the dealers can sell it to Stevie Wonder then they might let him out of it.

Maybe they could try selling it to a really big Golden State Warriors fan over here.

What's the mechanic for this? Would they lose their deposit - do they have no further liability to the dealer. Would the relationship with the brand / dealer be shot after this or is it just something that happens

I guess given the demand they would assume they could sell even that one, I guess they may be able to sell for overs as it’s not strictly new

You’d lose your deposit which I imagine on a Pista is a sizeable sum....maybe the dealer will let you have some of it back if you are a very,very,very good customer if they sell the car but maybe not. I am sure they were pretty happy though as regardless of this cars spec they will know that it would be an easy car to sell....worst case they sell for for list price but maybe they registered it in and sold it as a used car for a premium. Either way they won’t have lost money...

Did Sir consider gold coloured alloys? In my humblest, that would complete the look.

Significant in my eyes. One looks svelte and well proportioned, the other a clunky parody.

I really like the stripe on these dipping down from the bonnet to go under the nose and coming out on the splitter.

I only wish it were mine to have even considered it

The owner is a customer of ours (we supply vans for his business) I believe he has a 458 and a red GT3 too.

For reference, below is example of how good gold coloured alloys can look:
