Ive done 1200 mls since new and my bumper looks like its done 120000 with the amount of stone chips on it, is this the norm for a 430? my 355 has done 8000 mls and had less on it!!!!!!

Apparantly someone had there 430 resprayed at Ferrari UKs cost, it also went bad after 600 mls, it doesnt help having White Primer either!!!! Ive emailed the dealership with the pics and hopefully they will do the same for me, not holding my breath though.

Why not clear bra it?

Good idea, ill Ask the Dealer to do that after its been sprayed, cheers for the advise!
360 Boy, the Gravell is good for dodgy people prowling around at night but no good for a Ferrari!!

looks rubbish and costs too much!!!!!



Maybe not then, ive been told from a Ferrari Sales guy who wants to stay annonymous that the 430 has been more prone to lots of stone chips than most other Ferraris, the Paint might not be up to standard, as it Stands Ferrari UK are looking at the pics ive sent and hopefully doing it under warranty! ive been told about £400.00 if i were to pay for it, is this a resonable price? i thought it was ok really!!!
