    gorgeous car, the steering wheel seems a little out of place, is there any other red on the dash? You're going to love it. Mine is still one of the best all around cars I have ever owned.

    Congratulation! Very beautiful and classic color combination! Only the red steering wheel doesn't fit very well to the rest of the interior. But that's just my opinion :)

    thanks for all the great comments, i was a little unsure at first about the red wheel, or not so much the wheel as the car is red, but the steering column being red looks a little out of place. Has a big red tachometer also so when inside all ties in very well.

    Think car is Rosso red will check, very excited as get the keys this week.

    Lots more pis to come. :)

    Congrats on the new addition. It's a great time to buy 458's in Dubai with some excellent deals in the market.

    And today was the day she arrived, took a little longer than expected but car in great condition.

    Already gone through a tank of gas today and loving it.

    Certainly a step up from the R8 and a lot more race focused, loving the first 24 hours, looking forward to getting more comfortable and confident as right now car still scares me!! LOL

    more pics to come. :)
