    My wife Yulia’s 488 Spider arrived yesterday Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login


    Arrived at the garage yesterday and surprised her last night.

    Really happy with the Rossa Scuderia and how the rest came out. I really like the stock wheels and for once I left the brake calipers alone. Left alone they are anodized greyish-black like a blue of a gun. Red seat inserts match the scuderia color. (I think black interior looks best on the Spider). Had the scuderia red on a firmer scud and challenge car and I really like it. It pops more with the black interior and keeps black from being plain.

    Nice spec!
    Did the wifey like it what were her thoughts on the more aggressive styling?

    John , have the dealer pull the valves so they are open all the time as the sound will even be better at low RPM s. Oh , nice rig congrats bro , all the best , Kirk.

    Beautifully done and what a lucky lady.....to have the car and yourself, of course!!

    Love the stock rims also. Even though they are standard, seem like a rarity on 488's. Enjoy

    If she doesn't work out, I'm open to a bromance, contingent on gifts like that!

    Congratulations! Rosso Scuderia is perfect for 488 Spider, but I couldn't help noticing the Conciso in the background. Is it yours as well? I saw it at RM auction in Monaco.

    Congrats! Can you take a closer pic of the standard brake calipers?

    Yes, would be great to see some close ups on the standard calipers. I just ordered a Portofino with standard calipers. Debated on getting black but was told not much difference.

    Congrats on the classic spec, but I love your garage. Is that a 25th anniversary Countach?

    Yes. That’s the Conciso. Started a thread in the 328 section

    Took them both out tonight. With 800 pounds removed, the Conciso is fast even by 488 standards Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
