Afternoon,

Been thinking about upgrading my F430....and after some budget creep....have somehow ended up buying this:


Oops

Delivery from the nice chaps at JCT (thanks Chris) next Friday

Anyhow, any suggestions for insurance on this value of car? Not cheapest, but best compromise of annual premium and no hassle claim if the worst happens.

Off to dream of next Friday now, doubt I'll sleep much between now and then!

Sorry no insurance or other suggestions of any value but...CONGRATULATIONS!!! Very nice and a car that is the high watermark of N/A frivolity. Enjoy!

Congrats. Are you happy with the price you got for your F430?

Mr Vert, nice new wheels you've got there & I look forward to seeing it one dry Sunday morning soon I've a friend whose owned some similar cars & found a specialist broker he used who wasn't expensive - I'll ask him for the details.

I use Aviva (part of a multi car policy) only £400ish for a 12c spider plus £2.5k excess

Your car looks great, have you thought of having the calipers painted (red or yellow) would really lift the side on view of the car ??

I might try that as I have a few cars - did have an Admiral multi car policy, but after the first year they tried to ramp it up so much it was cheaper to separate the policies again

Funny you should mention the calipers, yes I plan to get them painted yellow. Should look like this

[Skittles001]

Congratulations! Definitely for the yellow callipers.

Oooh I like that very much.....

[MrVert]

Any reccommendations for a company who can powder coat my calipers in the correct colour in the Leicestershire area?

Thanks.

[Flashman65]

Give graypaul in Birmingham a call, I know they use someone who is not too expensive and does a brilliant job

[MrVert]

Thanks, I'll make contact.

Delivery tomorrow.....can't wait!

[bluesatin]

Looks stunning. After I did the same as you a few months back you wont regret the purchase. Shame about the weather this weekend!
