    Hi all, thanks a lot! :)

    Yesterday a packet from italy arrived.

    I wonder how light the parts are.

    Fitting is ok and quality is perfect, but one part has a little
    dent from the production.

    My mechanic always told me "thats the love Luigi put in his work"! :D

    May I ask how long you have your car for.?

    Already had so many modifications. With all the money you spent you could have bought a SCUD. But the modifications are very nicely done, all OEM parts.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Pat and Joe,

    thanks! :)

    Pat, you are right, my F430 is a 08 car with many nice factory options
    and with 11.000 km very low "mileage" and so it was a little bit more expensive than 90% of the other offers.

    But it was big money away from a scud.

    Ok, when i will have finished all my planned mods the step would be not that big but i have one problem with the scud.

    I love the scud but i came from the aircooled 911 section with some really big
    projects and some really "bad ass" cars and i love the F430 for the way he handle street and track and the scud is a real racer but i want a little bit more GT and little bit less track this time AND i´m a big leather fan! I love the smell and the optic.
    Ok, i like Alcantara too, but in the scud i always missed this special Ferrari interior feeling. :)

    Ok, a F40 didn´t have leather too and always blast my mind :D but thats another league. ;)


    So i go with the F430 and my wife is happy, too, she was sooo afraid every time,
    when driving our 993tt. :D

    by the way, thats one of my aircooled projects the last years:

    Little update :)

    Novitec send a mail, that my parts are arrived and yesterday i stripped the engine bay because tomorrow they will arrived here and the engine bay get the Carbon upgrade.

    The only part which nobody offers in carbon ist the watertank cover.

    So i got the chance to buy a Scuderia water tank and my Ferrari mechanic
    give me a Original Scuderia cover with some finish problems.

    The Scuderia tank is build in and the cover will be refinished from a friend
    with an carbon workshop.

    And i changed the "doorhooks" because they were in really bad condition!
    Anyone there who has the same problem?

    My door hooks are fine, but I did notice there is some grease all over it, so thats why I think the grease is doing some work for you. I think that might be the case why your door hooks were in such bad shape.

    Good luck...

    BTW what next on your mind? Keep it up.

    Very very lovely in deed! may I ask if the novitec air box improves sound and performance as well, ( I mean you can actually feel the difference, like putting on a sport CAT)

    Thanks

    I will drive tomorrow but i think there will be no more power and sound.

    Weight and optic is the only upgrade i think.

    More power and sound will be possible with the Novitec airbox system incl. sport filters
    and ECU upgrade.
