    Purists ... I'm warning you ...

    For everyone else ... my yellow F430 is finally where I want it to be! As is the case with all US spec F430s ... the ride height was set for the car to run in the Paris Dakar rally. It had the original five spoke wheels and the calipers were red. NOW ... its lowered, five spokes were exchanged for Challenge wheels (and then painted), and the calipers were redone in yellow!

    I know some will hate it but fortunately for them ... they don't have to drive it! :D

    Well I love it, looks great! A challenge grill might make the whole package a little better but other then that it looks terrific in my opinion. Enjoy the car (the yellow callipers look awesome under those wheels)

    Its freakin awesome - a big improvement IMO. It looks very menacing - in a good way.

    That is perfect! Did you paint the calipers? If so which paint did you use? And where did you get the Ferrari logo?
    Thanks.

    I usually hate the challenge wheels on the 430s, but that looks great!

    Awesome car all around.

    To be honest I have never liked a yellow car, but I love this one. I didn't know how good it looked on a Ferrari F430.

    Enjoy it and have fun.

    Looks excellent, the F430 doesnt need any aftermarket products, that combination is nice!

    Thanks! The colour is actually a semi gloss gunmetal gray.

    The calipers are painted using a Dupont paint (same as the factory uses). There is a code (I think it's 102) that is the Giallo paint. The logo is a stencil. The people who painted the calipers had the logo. Most paint shops that work on Ferraris will be able to do this.

    The wheels are gunmetal.

    13 turns on the coilovers from US spec factory height all the way around. Done with the help of Autobahn Exotics in my area. Not sure what the exact mm drop in height this equates to.

    I love your CS with those wheels! Looks awesome. I am pondering the idea of having my CS wheels done in the same color as the F430 but there is a part of me that says "leave the CS stock!" Anyway, your car looks great!
