Please forgive the new thread,
Here she is..

Thought I'd include some pics of the 599 too. This car was nightmare blue until a couple of months ago. Has been wrapped in gloss white/ matt black and standard 599 wheels painted matt. Cost £1800 for wrap and £400 for wheels.

458 looks good, however much preferred the standard wheels.

The 599 is really not to my taste though, sorry! The faux gto look is just trying far to hard imho.

Love the 458's look, Some of the 599 lookss nice, not keen on boot, but each to their own...
599 also looks odd without the shields?

Fair points..
however when the 599 was blue it would sit on our experience days doing nothing. Since its new look its busy all the time with the public paying to drive it

The 458 look was personal I have to say. And since the wheels were donated it would be a shame not to use them smile It'll go back to standard after three months in any case.

Ultimately as work horses, that's all that matters - Amen Si!

Do love the bi-color aspect - like the Gallardo SE, I think the 458 should've come like this as stock!

That 458 looks magnificent IMO, love the wheels and the contrast the black roof makes with the Rosso paint. Stunning! smokin

OP, nice piece with the DBS vs CL63 in this weeks Autocar BTW!

Even as a Lambo kind guy, I think they both look great, the 458 more than the 599....

Oz wheels look the nuts compared to standard rims, nicely done.

Never liked those wheels on the 599 though.

I thought I wasn't going to like the 458 with the black wheels when you mentioned it previously but that looks good. I also prefer the original wheels but it's your car smile

Also agree with comments about the 599, but if it's making more money with people driving it then it's worked, so nice one.

I love Ferraris but I have to agree, neither float my boat.

Show me a 458 or 599 in dark grey with dark red leather and I am there cloud9
