I got a red one, its called something Rosso Modiale dunno the name, but the color is very similar to the Ferrari Red. I think there are very few Red ones in HK not to mention probably the only one in HK in that model... I know there are many Blue, Silver and Black and recently saw a yellow one too.

Well I got mine straight from Italian Motors, it was not listed on 28cars, didn't really trust the guys in the Wan Chai second hand dealers either. So ended up purchasing at the Ferrari/Maserati dealer in hk which also had all the service records of the car and also came with warranty, and have very low miles. So I bought it from them, their service was remarkable and they also gave me some discount on the car.

dont forget if you get good wheels and not rep you can get about 50% back
this is why I went for GTS and not the reps this time. I have been getting rep for over 10 years now and will not get them again cost the bigger brands wheels have started to come down in price and cansell after, unlike reps which is worthless.
This is why I got the wheels within the 1st year so by the time I sell the car in 3 years time you can buy my wheels off me.

Keith, your ride is really crazy after repair the leakage; change back the spark plug; AK used the computer to clear some codes, active steering drive and registration your battery. But still have the Adaptive headlight fault which is too pricey to fix, I tested drive and found it rev up really fast out of expected, chassis is stiff than normal, may relative to wonder bars, but I have some planning about reinforcement chassis. Haha. Your EBC brake pads performance is quite strange, harder in normal speed, but softer in high speed. 
So my car really rev up faster compare with yours? Even we have the same engine?
Do the wonder bars mod man, which will stiffen up the chassis and provide more feedback of the car's movements.
The EBC brake pads is abit wired i know, you will really need to slam on the brake if you want it to stop, but once the pads gets into the tempeture, they are rarely fade or anything, so its not too bad to be honest.

Thanks Ricky for letting me know

I would not go to 3 party one for reinforcement chassis.
