Ferrari F430 Spider

Awesome write-up as ever. Love seeing this pop to the top of the thread list.
I can attest that an old Fiat Panda 4x4 is a riot, not to mention a surprisingly capable offroader. If you find one without the dreaded rot, they are perfect for a tootle in the snow where certain other, more, er, Grigio, cars may struggle!

Did you take any pics when you stuck them on the car?
I didn’t get chance. I had them fitted on the Thursday before the RT, then decided I didn’t like them so had them changed on the Friday morning of the day we left.Smitters said:

Thank you. I tried searching for one but they are nigh on impossible to find over here. I can attest that an old Fiat Panda 4x4 is a riot, not to mention a surprisingly capable offroader.

Mark, what if you do sell the wheels have you decided what you'll replace them with? I mean, you plan to put the CCBs on don't you, and I think I read earlier in the thread they won't clear the standard wheels?
The standard 16M/Scuderia wheels (the 16M wheels I have were an optional extra).

Bit random, but would you mind giving me a few hints on upgrading facelift/non facelift on a W203 Merc? (via PM or whatever?)
I have an online guide to that: http://www.mwstewart.co.uk/articles/w209faceliftco...mwstewart said:

I have decided to embark upon a weight loss program on the car, and to start with I've treated it to some new seats.
They are currently on order but here is a sneak peak (not my photo):
Nearly new OEM Ferrari 16M seats in the correct Rosso leather to match my interior.

Ha! Sweet. To be fair I have the colour wrong in my first post - Ferrari noob!you're readers car of the week

Awesome read! Took PH to bring it to my attention! You look like you really ENJOY the car and that's brilliant - they are meant to be driven and enjoyed as much as possible IMO.
On the wheeels - we have the 16M rims on our Scud and love them (but my car is Giallo Modena) They really set the car off brilliantly and I would find it hard to go back to the OEM rims. The colour is like a "bronzed titanium" and changes colour in different lights (which you simply cannot catch with a camera) so I think they are the same as yours - did it really not go with your car colour??
Anyway great to see someone else so smitten with their Ferrari - they are such awesome cars and worth every penny! Can't wait to hear the next instalment in your blog...

Terrific thread OP - congratulations for your work in getting it exactly how you want it!
I've just read 15 pages in one hit and your attention to detail is superb - I'm sure yours is now one of the best examples around!
Love the colour combination, and especially the manual gearbox! I just can't imagine a road-going Ferrari without one (although I'll probably never own one
)!
Looking forward to updates!
