F8 Spider has landed…

[blueSL]

My F8 Spider in blu corsa and crema/black interior has landed. Great car!!

[Ray_MV]

what a stunner, congratulations! The seats looks great, especially with the stripe - are they the standard carbon racing seats? Enjoy in the sunny weather.

[blueSL]

Thank you, yes, the standard carbon racing seats but modified to replace the grey insert panels on the squab and backrest with leather to match the rest of the seat. Blue stitching and horse, blue stripe intentionally chosen to be a shade darker than the car.

Great things happen in Swindon!

Congratulations and stunning colour combo. Just out of interest why did the interior stripe need to go one shade darker than body colour not that anyone would notice that from pics

Ferrari do not have a leather colour which exactly matches the blu corsa and, in any case, the stripe colour is going to change in its appearance depending on whether the windows are open.

They offered two blues - one called "baby blue" which was lighter and didn't work and the one I chose, azzurro santorini, which is a shade darker which I am very happy with.

This is a picture of another car with the baby blue stripe...

Agree darker is better but only you would know its not an exact match as its looks absolutely fine

Stunning looking car. Well done.

I am at DL this afternoon looking at the 296 GTB. Did you collect this morning ?

Congratulations on your stunning car. Blu Corsa looks tremendous and lovely interior choice. Make sure you make the most of the sunny weather!

Gorgeous car in a stunning color combination.

Best colour for the F8 Spider IMO. The seats are the perfect colour combo and being a light colour won't burn your bum on a hot day. I also much prefer the standard alloys compared to the odd looking optional ones.

I must say that’s more than a bit gorgeous. Love the spec, outside and in.

[Pioneer]

Beautiful, exactly what I would have ordered. Enjoy

[av185]

Smart purchase imo.

Great colour and spec too.
