you could have warned me

Well went and picked my 355 spider up yesterday Absolutley the greatest felling ever and the decatted sports zorst sounds amazing.

However some one could have warned me how bl**dy wide they are basically forgot how wide it was going passed a central refuge
Result one scuffed front wheel (not too worried) however the rear has a nice big chunk missing now, been in touch with graypauls in nottm this morning and its gonna cost £1700 for the new wheel a new pirelli pzero and 4 wheel alignment....
Guess its an expensive lesson to me not to get to cocky..

Mind you its took me 30yrs to realise the dream of owning a ferrari so im not bitter

thanx spider guess was a bit of a rush of blood (gotta get it done sorta moment ringing graypauls), phoned douglas valley they have one in needs refurbing for £299
so couple more questions anyone know anywhere good for refurbing in notts area??
anyone know where i can get reasonable price on a new pirelli pzero??

I know im a pain guys but i promise ill be good from now on just cant bear looking at her wounded

Congrat on the purchase!! Sounds like no real harm done, just a wheel. You can see where the Greypaul price comes from when you find out that new wheels are £1100 each including VAT, makes the used option look pretty good.

That lass from Girls Aloud scraped the side of that 355 pretty bad when Plato took them to the track. They were all taking the pi$$ on the TV, but lets be fair it was her first time in a wide L.H.D F355.

Yeah but she was driving like an absolute . She needed a smacked bottom for that sort of behaviour!

the thing is the second you get behind the wheel and start one up you just feel in a different world and all sensibility goes out the window till the car turns round and says excuse me im a ferrari dont try that
