Hi, what are the must have options on the 488, not deal breakers but desirable? Just looking at some cars and the most noticeable thing i see is that the racing seats look far better than the standard items.
TIA.

Carbon fibre driving zone and LED's are a must.

Racing seats are nice and more desirable. They are very comfortable too.

Lots of carbon is nice. The side skirts need to be in carbon as they look a bit cheap with the plastic otherwise. Front and rear splitters are nice too.

Sensors with reversing cam also a must in my opinion.

Shields are a must also in my view.

Personal preference but stitched headrests, coloured rev counter, shields, front sensors, rear camera, wheel upgrade, carbon or black sills, carbon side air ducts, carbon driving zone, lift is handy. Sports seats are great but full electric normal seats are still perfectly good.

For me it was the following:

Carbon Fibre Drivers Zone
Carbon Fibre Race Seats with stitched headrests
Parking Sensors
Suspension Lift
Uprated wheels, I went with the forged wheels with matt black finish.
Mats

No essential but I wanted them:
Special option stitching which is a darker red against the creme leather. It was something my wife wanted (she is a designer) God knows how much it cost as I did not look but it does look very nice.
Carbon Fibre rear light cluster.

I went in with a budget of £210k for the car with extras and came out having spent £219k. I spec'd the car in Italy, the Italians are very good at getting you to spend extra!!! (This was before the 7% price increase).
