    Super beautiful. I am suffering with you! Like I said. I am not sure if things are found that need some repair before delivery. I hope they disclose but likely they won't.

    I’m surprised the dealer is doing PPF, normally they outsource it (?). I love your interior, esp. the seats and the stripes on the steering wheel....nice touch! Looks like Ferrari gave up on the single ‘dual action’ high beam button of the 458 and just added another button, LOL!

    Gotta be an excruciating wait, but almost to the finish line!

    Not close enough. Yet my misery is a lot less than yours now. I can only imagine what you're going through. Which, I should be, by the end of this year and you will be sitting in your F8, giving me emotional support.

    That’s why I keep pushing my dealer to get this car to me because I only have X number of weeks before I have to put it away for the whole winter!

    Sorry, I'm new here. I am placing the order for my F8 right now and I was told 8 months to delivery. Is August 2021 when it changes to MY2022? Thanks.

    To do the film properly they are [almost certainly] removing the badges, turn signals, headlights, mirrors and door handles. It's the extra care when disassembling and reassembling the car that is critical.

    I would say that’s usually the case but you never know with Ferrari. I’ve had cars delivered earlier than August and they were the following model year . I had one car delivered in October of 2015 and it was MY 2015. However that may have been the case since it was end of that model run.

    As a general rule it may hold true but always exceptions.

    And then you will get that waiting sensation all over again until spring hits. You can always ship it somewhere not cold and snowy during the winter...

    I don't think the dealer does all that. Perhaps only badges...

    Yeah I might have 4 weeks before she goes into hibernation and yes I have been looking at renting a place in Florida for a few months and shipping it down there for the Winter.

    I know, I remember giving you innocent grief for choosing Florida...

    The irony is that while I wait for mine to arrive to the US, you will have yours comfortably dry and warm.

    I think your interior spec is very well judged, so well done!

    The tricolore stripe on the wheel and console buttons tie in so well, against the black and CF.
