    Hi

    I'm looking at a 488 which has a lot of carbon fibre in MAT finish.

    Is this a pain to look after? Do you like the finish? Does it scratch easier? Etc?

    Thanks!

    Yes Goldrake.

    Was just using seat pic as example of the carbon finish.

    I'm more worried about it on the diffuser, front spoiler, side skirts, rear light ducts, side ducts, vents, dash, steering wheel etc than the seat backs :)

    It actually looks good to me. I’m surprised because I would have said I prefer the gloss carbon look but this does look nice.

    My Goldrakes are likewise gloss (the only CF on the car). I absolutely prefer the matte finish.

    Are the seats from Ferrari? Not sure they can be ordered in that configuration. I've not seen Goldrake seats in mat black carbon fiber nor have I seen them with fabric and not leather. Admittedly, I am somewhat new to the Ferrari world.

    Yes it is all from Ferrari like this. Every CF option and then to have it matt was +25% on the price for each piece.... Whoever spec'd the car spent a fortune.

    Another pic of the finish on the seats.... I'm tempted to pull the trigger just can't decide if I want to push for a Spider (weather in UK limits use of top down haha).

    Interior looks great. What color is the exterior?

    I chose the GTB because I get about 2-3 weeks each year when the temperature is appropriate for a convertible in my part of the States. It's either cold or super hot. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Black car with Grigio Silverstone Matt roof, and then Matt Carbon to front sides and rear.

    Will let you know if I end up buying it and post more up then.

    Wow, nice. The original owner put a ton of options on your new potential ride. What year is it and what was the MSRP when the previous owner spec'd it out?

    As you can see from my pictures, Silverstone and black are what I prefer.

    I think car was about £265,000 GBP new. It's a 2016 car with 3,000 miles on it with main Ferrari dealer on for £179,995 before negotiation.

    4 years of service pack remaining and 2 years warranty.
