I assume it's the lighting, that surely would have been noticeable in person
In person could not notice anything, I've watched a few youtube videos of other yellow ones and in some the same can be seen so yes assuming lighting and angles, or maybe even a slight difference in shade or how light bounces simply because the bumper is plastic and wings metal, which can result in a minor colour difference. But in person I did not spot anything.
But yeah it has had me stressing lol!
I checked my photos and zoomed in on a few and you can see in some its hardly noticeable and in others more so, seems very much down to angle and lighting:
As you can see in some it looks fine in others can be seen, but looking in close on some pictures of the SVR and Lambo similar can be seen as well, hence it most likely is lighting and angles, reflections etc.
Still I am very OCD so shall see if Ferrari can see anything and when I collect shall also place close attention and shall probably take a paint depth gauge too and measure every panel.
It just has to be perfect, have to say 458 shopping has not been easy, every car has had well some kind of issue, problem with buying used beggers cannot be choosers:
2011 Black: Bad smell, otherwise drove great, sounded awesome and brutal shifts.
2012 Black: Crack on diffuser, paint chips where should not be like a sign of a wing removed and signs of filler, car felt not as quick.
2010 Red: Missed three services, wonky bonnet and ex-demo
2014 yellow: Done at least a track day or two and the ceramics have been miss-used causing excess wear, possible paint miss match.
I think this is why its crucial to drive several of same car model and if wherever possible drive a brand new one, I did that with Golf R, took a brand new one out, then found a used one that well drove lie the new one.
Still as long as no signs of major issues I shall go ahead with the purchase as the car was immaculate!
For those who want to do some investigatio, the registration on the car and it shall come with is "F2 YEL" which is a pretty cool plate, but feel I shall put G18 WTF on the car.
I've done searches and F2 yel has visited hand car washes, what a sin!
It also attended a Gray Paul Ferrari GB organised track day at Donnington May 2nd 2017 and its been spotted at several car meets, Goodwood etc. so enthusiast owned and well used.
If I heard correct its a 2 owner car, I shall be 3rd, mileage is 14,500 and the next three services are FOC which is around £3500 worth (7yr service pack).
What I could see of underside it looked brand new, suspension components and bushes looked brand new, all round, guessing its been a dry stored car and Ferrari did say they'd not allow test drives in the wet which says its being rather pampered.
