New CF options for F430...

[adam24]

Hi guys,

I was in the Ferrari Garage in Leeds a couple of days ago and noticed a Grigio Silverstone F430 with Scud cf wing mirrors and wheels. These alone made a BIG difference and after closer examination there were also CF side skirts, fuel filler cap and front splitter however they were very difficult to see due to the colour of the car. I was chatting to the chap in there who was saying that this is a brand new option and Ferrari had just delivered them this car. I was suprised that there was no challenge grill or cf engine bay too?! With all these options on a red, yellow or white car and would transform the look of a standard F430. Any ideas how much they cost and has anyone on here ordered/seen them?

I did take some pics but they are pretty poor... http://athorby.zenfolio.com/p710000783/h16ae1ce4#h...

The options were released earlier this summer. You wouldn't think they were so great if you saw the price tag! Personally I don't like them, especially the fuel cap which beggars belief.

Yeah I don't like the carbon skirts, Graypaul had a Bianco Fuji 16M in with the Carbon skirts, it looked unfinished. Don't even want to know how much they cost

I expected these options to be pretty pricey but £4k for door mirrors!! Now I know why no one on here ticked those boxes!

That is the worst F430 I have ever seen, bar none.

it might help if the car wasnt jacked up like a SUV

The only reason, I assume, that the CF parts are not painted is to help show the world how much money you have to waste.
If you want extra parts in CF, fair enough. But to leave them unpainted is just tacky.

Are you serious? Paint adds weight! LOL!

(not much though, as these parts are of course painted with a clear coat to protect them).

I personally like the unpainted cf finishes and if I could I would get one with the mirrors and wheels as I think they compliment the standard car. I do agree, the pictures of the red car don't do it justice, I think if you saw if in the flesh though you would be pleasantley suprised....
