Width of 488 Including mirrors

[jurassic86]

Hello
Just put deposit down on my 488GTB ... I am reading all sorts of conflicting information regarding the width of the car.

Some posts say the width includes mirrors, some say without...

Does anyone here have one they can go whip a tape measure across? I just need to know if it will fit in my garage.

My garage door opening is 216cm... can we assume it's too tight

So we thinking 216cm garage door opening should be fine?

Is it possible to put these in neutral and push inside or is it easy on the clutch in first so you can creep in

Same as other poster. I am in a conservation area and the doors are barn style, so open outwards.

In a conservation area you can't even fit double glazing so removing a garage door and taking out a brick whilst sounds like a straight forward task isn't. Furthermore their is two of these doors so even if I could it would mean one bigger than other which would look odd.

I have a unit where I can store the car but in winter it would be nice to keep it at the house and keep it on trickle charge with the car cover on.

I was that concerned I went and measured the car with mirrors folded... 207cm give or take a few mm... so should just scrape through.... I'll close my eyes and hope for the best

Unfortunately removing a brick isn't an option as the garage is rendered but I'll have a go see how easy it is and if not too bad only has to go in during winter, so not in and out every day.
