Wow, if I did that in New Jersey, wouldn’t have front bumper for sure must have good roads around. Image Unavailable, Please Login mine is lowered but not as much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Previous owner lowered mine. Sure it looks cool, and I might get a minor benefit in terms of downforce and center of gravity in the turns, but I don’t track it often enough or well enough for that to outweigh the major pain in the behind of scraping the nose everywhere I go. Next time it goes in for service, I’m going to look at restoring factory ride height. No sense fixing all the chin rash until I do that.

Spring has finally sprung in London. Emerged from garage, cover off, short blast to dealer on Friday confirmed what I'd been waiting all winter for. Picked her up Saturday (dealer did a minor service and general check; all ok). Planning to do a bit of detailing today and take her out tonight.

Wow, Grigio Silverstone really works well with that interior color in my opinion. Not sure I've seem that color combo but dang that looks good and a six speed to boot!
Car I was checking out to buy in SF. Way to many issues with the car for too much of a premium. Gorgeous though. Image Unavailable, Please Login
What colour of blue is that? I do like it. Sunday drive for coffee and scones... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very kind of you to say! GS wasn't a colour I was particularly looking for, but the car ticked all the boxes and as you say works so well with the Crema, which was my first choice of interior, looks surprisingly good together. You get different reactions with a Grigio Ferrari also. Less of the I-hate-you kind of looks, and fewer idiots trying to race you, I think. The only thing I'd change are the wheels.. Here's a picture I took after my own efforts at detailing. Ceramic coat coming up this weekend from a pro. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thank you! Was the most fun weekend I have had in a while. The great thing about the 430 is that it's great fun at not-crazy speeds.
I was actually thinking even though those wheels can look a little ho-hum depending on the spec, they kind of tie in the light color of the crema interior. Probably the one time I thought, ah this is where those wheels work well haha. Nice work on the detail too, I also just had mine ceramic coated and really like the results. I'm told it should last ~4 years. Here's a couple of pics of mine although they are just iPhone pics, nothing special or set up. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Thank you! I see what you mean about my wheels and the Crema. Yes, work better than with some other combos possibly. I think they are perfectly nice, not planning to spend £$€ on changing them, but yours and the other styles are still a bit nicer. Love the look of that ceramic coat. And your interior - is your dash also red? I really like that look, but very hard to find in the UK.
Dash is "black". Seats, headliner, doors, are all red. I saw one with a red dash and steering wheel and while I love the red interior, it was too much with everything red. I got more of the impression of being flooded by red where everything blended together and it looked less special. I much more liked the contrast of the black carpet, steering wheel and dash, with the other parts of the interior red. Stitching is grey which I love too, very understated and a nice detail to catch that plays with the exterior.
