Sorry, but IMHO the MP4-12C just does not look right in red.

Mine arrived last week at McLaren Newport Beach. I'm waiting for the full clear wrap to be done, and then I'll take it home!

You are a man with taste, dennis - this much I can tell. Absolutely LOVE the Arabica interior - it must feel properly luxurious when you sink into it. Well done!

Another beauty, Choroid. Very impressed by the choices you guys came up with. Very classy and definitely in line with the luxo-supercar ethos of the 12C. When you put some mileage on it, you'll know what I mean. Enjoy your cars!!

I have to admit I am strangely attracted to the Rosso 12C, as well. Would love to see it with stealth wheels, or else remove all the stealth and keep it alloy.

I do wish there were more flat/solid paint options. The metallics are all nice, but being a very aerodynamic form, the 12C is guaranteed to look great in flat/solid colours, like an aircraft or boat does.

Just noticed the stitching is different between the dash and seats - was that your choice or would it have cost some ungodly sum to get them to match? Feel free to answer this in a few days when you finally stop driving your car around long enough to read the forum.

Of course if they can pull in an extra $25,000 for these special paint options then perhaps it's best to maximize those profits instead.

The car is titanium silver. Full carbon, including some MSO pieces. I'll post pics once I have the car.

I hope that boat full of McLarens that has delivered all these cars to the California dealers happened to have mine. [fingers crossed]

The Rosso red is just wrong to me. The non-metallic orange looks quite good though. ha ha
