    Thank you everybody for your wishes! I will post better pictures very soon.

    As for the seats, oh gosh they are beautiful ! I was somewhat unsure of the daytona seats vs the stock seats as I felt after reading here that the daytona seats may not suit the futuristic styling of the 458, but I can gladly say that it is not so!

    Great looking options on your new Italia. I like the gray paint chosen for the wheels and sport sills. The interior is especially nice with red inserts on the Daytona seats plus red seat belts and the contrast stitching. Thanks for sharing your new Ferrari here!

    Nicely spec'd. Congrats!
    I guess you will be hanging around Budhh circuit. :)


    This might be a bit off, but how tall are you? I mean I had few people who have driven a 458 tell me that the <170cm might have some problem driving it.

    The red inserts really highlight the interior! Pictures do not do justice to the color!


    5 feet 7 here. No problem with seating position whatsoever.

    Hello. No reflections at all. Looks gorgeous and doesn't reflect back in any lighting condition

    Hello vf430 ! Hope you had a pleasant stay here, and regarding your query about Fezza's in Hyd, apparently there were 2 Red F430's and a beautiful red 308GTS, but now all of them have been sold to other cities and ironically none of those cars have been replaced with.

    Anyways coming back to the topic, ecks firstly belated congratulation's on your purchase ! Hope you are having a great time with the 458, wanted to ask you if any mods have been planned, an exhaust swap perhaps ? :D
