360 - new Challenge 19 wheels on - what a difference

[911Thrasher]

amazing - thx to Andy at JoeMacari for the service/help and good price
Happy about the service - he's definitely getting my car for its service from now on

[Rocksteadyeddie]

That's a lovely looking thing

[Womaniser]

Nice!

Just need a Capristo now!

[911Thrasher]

I'm happy w/ standard exhaust: got the valves open wide

Haven't you got the white dust in the engine bay yet from where the baffler breaks down?

[911Thrasher]

Not really - which white powder? And why would I have any?

I thought all Ferrari owners had white powder

[tony h]

are they ball polished?

[911Thrasher]

Yep, they are ball polished - and they were actually cheaper than the regular ones.
£3k including the new bridgstone tyres, balanced and mounted (+ a nice car wash incl engine bay)

I could be thinking of lowering it a little - can it be done with my normal shocks/springs or do i need to change something?

[neil-f]

Your standard setup allows you to lower the ride height.

[EVOeng]

Looks great Pierre, really does set the car off and a much bigger improvement than previous.
Now, it certainly looks better than the 993.

Well done.

[911Thrasher]

Euh I wouldn't push it 360 and 993 are both beautiful cars IMO...and I would buy a 993turboS or RS anytime!

But u r right, now my 360 is perfect, really love it just like that, don't even think of challkenge front bumper anymore

Maybe a little drop off though - will see in October

[Chris Koll]

Looking good man.. much better than the stock option you had before.

[Zippee]

They look fantastic. I've always been of the opinion the one thing that really lets the 360 down is the standard wheels - they just look wrong and too small for the car.

[911Thrasher]

Thanks guys - fully agree with you. I really like it like that, growing on me slowly

I dont actually think i will even lower the car, it actually looks really good like this, and I guess slightly less "crashy"...central london roads being so bad.

[ZeroH]

Nice car mate but can't say I like the chrome wheels... too "rapper bling" for London imo... maybe better in LA !

[911Thrasher]

Zero: that's probably why they were cheaper than the standard silver ones but they are genuine though: they even have the ferrari engraved on the inside (but manufactured by BBS)

I actually got use to the LA look - IMO looks better in flesh than on pic + mine are always dirty so not so shiny: daily use even in the rain.

BTW did u guys talked to Kidhaa? Bedford on 23/10 ?

Pierre - The car is looking great!

I would prefer a less shiny finish to the wheels, but they certainly suit it! I would still think about dropping it a little and maybe adding the CS front bumper, but you have a beautiful car as it is!

Have you got all the problems with the central locking and that sorted now?

As for Macari, you were just a short walk from my place! If you look across King George's park from there, you will see the very tall, modern flats and Lou and I own one at the top there (although we aren't there at the moment, obviously)... Great guys down there!

How long do you think you will be keeping it? If you had a black interior with red Daytona seats, i think this would be my perfect 360!
