    It's interesting that Rosso Corsa is usually one of the most popular color choices for a new Ferrari but I don't think I have seen a photo of one in this color. It might be a rare color for this model.

    Hopefully, there’s 1 or 2 online. People say it doesn’t look right in Rosso Corsa, but that would make it the worlds’s most unique Ferrari model, ever. Haha. Anyway, I just smile and say, you can order yours in whichever colour you like.

    It’s amazing to say, as I think this is absolutely unique for a car, but I don’t think the view of the Roma from the front quarter is it’s best angle. I think that it actually looks far better from the rear, and rear quarter angles. Anyone else have an opinion?

    I need to Re calibrate my TPMS.

    I followed the instructions on the owners manual, which says to turn the car on (but not the engine) and go to TPMS calibration in the menu.

    I did exactly this and all I get is a beep that the confirms I pushed the button but nothing happens. Literally nothing happens. I keep pushing the button the car, keeps beeping and nothing happens.

    Clearly the owners manual procedure is not working.

    Anyone know how to recalibrate the TPMS?

    Thanks

    When I've had to recalibrate the TPMS in my 458 I have to activate the system, then usually drive for at least 20 minutes. I would assume the Roma is similar. It sounds like you have activated the system, try driving until it gives you another notification.

    Agreed. Rear quarter or side view is best and front quarter least attractive.

    I disagree about the front quarter view not being as good as the rest of the Roma's angles. The curvaceous nature of the car is difficult to capture on film, unless the photographer has the right equipment, angle, and lighting. I can assure you the car looks fabulous from every angle in person.

    Anyone know roughly how long a Roma build takes, from first picture to delivery. I’m on my second pic - the shell has just been painted. ‍♂️

    Perhaps, but I don’t live on chat boards. I’ll scroll back and have a look.

    Thanks very much, I make that 10 weeks. Going by your date format, I assume you’re in North America? If that’s the case I’d hope to save some time in shipping to the UK, hopefully a week or 2.

    So, 1st photo for me was last week, so I’m going to predict it’s arrival somewhere between the 18th and 25th of June. It will be interesting to see how far away from that date it turns out to be. Haha.

    I have not found a good way to predict. One time, I got the second pic after the car had arrived at the dealership.

    Best way I have found to deal with the wait is to pretend I never ordered. Then I am so pleasantly surprised when I get the call it arrived! :)
