Freddans Ferrari F430 Coupé 2008

I too purchased cf diffuser, wing mirrors and side sills from R Tuned, should receive in a couple weeks. I’m relieved to hear your feedback on quality and pictures tell the story. Thanks for sharing and love your passion.

 

No need to worry Mark,

Yepp - mine did bolt right into place, all holes lined up superb.

as mentioned before i also got the engine sidepanels for my spider. It´s quite a complicated part but the fitment was 110%

have nothing but good to say - Quality/ fit & finish and communication are spot on.

Freddan, I know you have a CF fetish but sometimes paint can make things "POP".
Just a thought.

Like it, especially the yellow intake. Thanks for sharing!

 

Mark, your order should be completed by early next week, and then shipped out to you!

They're going to look great!

 

Thanks for the update, Phil. I will share pictures in a new thread when I get everything installed. Should look really good with my body kit

 

Some updates on the spider

Removed bumpers and sideskirts to have them all repainted in August. Had some scuffs and marks underneath so wanted to do it all right.

First did clear bra under and then 3M double side tape on the skidplates.

Sideskirts are also clear bra underneath etc..

Rear bumper also clear bra and carbon wrap on the license plate section. The painter plastic welded the holes for the license plate so now its mounted with bur (name?) Rear bumper is not fully mounted on the pictures. Diffuser is not mounted either (just squeezed under)

And OEM Titanium lug nuts (had theese laying feom my coupe)

Waiting to get my black Novitec lights but the painter has them as I want to go darker black and not the "grey:ish" black that they are from factory. Will fit the car better I think.

 

Very nice! I think so too!

I love how no stone gets left unturned with you! Everything gets done!

 

Thanks Phil!

 

Here's the picture of the skidplates also

I plan on wrapping this section on the bumper of my yellow Spider too. Looking good sir.

you should, a 20 dollar investment that really gives the car a much better look. let us know how it goes!

 

Spider was detailed just before I purchased the car.

This is oneof the reasons why I always puts bur in the license plate so it's easy to remove

Very nice! Did you add heat in your garage so it's more comfortabble to work in? haha

 

Yes i did! have a air/air heater installed. Works perfect!

 

How will anyone be able to see those tail lights at night....

 

Taillights testfitted (not fully mounted) start looking just like my red one in spec

There's lights inside.

I get what you're saying of course, but properly tinted lights aren't really *THAT* much darker when illuminated.

 

As mark says. they are´nt actually that dark. picture is not doing them right. it´s just very little black paint mixed in clearcoat. Had it for my red one and it passes MOT without any issues. they light up well enough.

 

It's worth adding that I've certainly seen my fair share of lights NOT tinted properly (tiny bit of color in the clear as Fredrik mentioned) and hooooooo boy were they not visible at all lol. One friend of mine in high school (we were 16, 17 at the time) just used black krylon. That lasted all of a week

 

Good to hear. That shot makes them look super dark!

 

Also, they are darker on top than straight backwards. (If you lock at the picture closely you'll see reflection structure very obvious) they are not red to begin with. Requires red bulbs.

 

Here's how they look before paint
