Perfecting Grigio Silverstone? -Here Is How- TAG+HRE+Novitec

TAG MOTORSPORTS

When you think of a Grigio Silverstone 458, you instantly think of classy and subtle right? So how do you go about improving on a classy, and subtle Ferrari 458? Thats exactly what our client said when he first walked in through our door. "The car is perfect but I am curious what we can do."

First thing that come out of our mouth was - "Well, there is a little wheel company across the street called HRE and a few other bits and pieces that can really transform the car!" Immediately the build began. HRE P101's were the obvious choice finished in HRE's classy Brushed Titanium Finish in 20" Front and 21" Rear wrapped in 245/35/20 and massive 355/25/21 Pirelli Rubber. Then the suspension, the factory ride hight with the 20/21 was something that needed some attention so the Novitec Springs were put in to give the car about a 25mm drop without hindering any of the factory dampening, as well as the factory nose-lift. Then came time for some carbon. The car had some carbon bits on the interior so adding the Novitec Carbon Diffusor was a no brainer. He loved it so much he elected to get rid of his current carbon splitters and fit the Novitec Front and Sides (which we will show you later on).

Once we did a few renders we thought - man that looks good but it needs a little bit of color. After thinking long and hard about what to do, we elected to paint the calipers. Although we know that its a big No-no for many of the purists on this forum, paint can always be reverted back so we thought - why not! The obvious choice was to go with a beautiful blue but being that there are so many different choices - we elected with a beautiful blue that we have used on various different vehicle's calipers. The color was Monterey blue from lamborghini! It was PERFECT!

Once the car was completed, we sat it down and just stared...... It was one of the most gorgeous color combinations we had seen. The Grigio Silverstone paint, with the matte brushed titanium wheels, and the lamborghini blue calipers..... it was perfection!

I think going with the Novitec Springs and Novitec Spacers are going to be the way to go for you. There are tons of people that lower the cars on the factory springs but after a certain point of lowering, the ride is severely compromised. Thats where the Novitec Springs shine

 

Not as of now. Just focusing on the exterior for now!

 

Woo Hoo!

 

That was a different company (client applied it) We are actually installing the Novitec Front Lip and Side Skirts as we speak. We will have photos for you soon.

 

Thanks Arnie!

 

The front lip is a little different - The Novitec front lip follows the contours of the bumper much better and fits perfectly. The other one had much more jagged lines and fitment wasn't as perfect.

Novitec's carbon is just absolutely stunning, we have installed so many Novitec pieces, and if you take the time to fit them properly, they are just like OEM.
