Prices low, so now's the time for my first Ferrari, all dealers say don't find many without wing shields and the resale hit could be 5000 without.I don't want 'em and all the ones I've found so far are either smashed or manual...so to the point,do you think if they were removed, filled ( there's a recess )and painted, the finish would be perfect ? ( black, grey or silver ). One dealer said " Ferraris are not for shrinking violets". Maybe I should stick to 911s....

stop fannying around for the sake of sheilds mate - they are awesome, with or without them.

I barely notice mine, but driving it you dont notice them anyway.

Cant wait to get it on track. Good luck with your search.

I paid up for the shields on my 360, I love them, why on earth would you go to the trouble of removing them?

Going to look at an Argento one..maybe they wont stand out as much. If I didn't care how it looked on the outside...I'd keep the 911 idea !

If you are going for Argento, duct tape could be your friend.
