    Not very related to this forum... but here’s an answer and I hope it helps...
    Really depends on level of modifications on your car... if it’s still relatively stock you can always go back to premium auto and enquire about their chip up package...
    Otherwise
    MTM is known for handling VW and audis
    BMS tuning also does quite abit of conti tuning
    And there is monster tuning

    I'm also a Ferrari fan living in Singapore. I don't have any cars here (yet) because of super high import taxes, but have some in my previous home country. Perhaps I'll get crazy and buy one here also..

    Is anyone here member of Ferrari Owners Club of Singapore? I'm member in Finland and would like to know more of your club?

    Welcome to Singapore. The local club is quite active with regular social events eg. dinners. Drives are on hold as borders are closed but they do local drives every other month or so. Tell us what you buy when you get it.

    Hi, I just sold my 458 Spider here in Singapore as expecting delivery of F8 Spider. However, significant delay in delivery time as now expected October 2021. It was ordered January 2020. Very frustrating.

    Yep! Thanks for showing me your F8! =)

    I recently had the chance for a 2-day loan of the F8 Spider from Ital, and it was an absolute blast!

    Hey guys, new here, managed to get an F8 order in before order closed, so I still have the opportunity to finalize specs for it over the next few months.

    What do you guys think of adding on the full carbon fibre exterior - is it worth it? Heard that the little stones chips at it while driving, and over time it becomes a heartbreak.

    Would love to hear some opinions on what you guys think might be "essential" add-ons for you, or something that you wish you could have added on if you have the chance!

    Hey reddotferrari! Congrats on getting your F8 order in!

    I personally didn't go for any additional carbon option on both exterior & interior since I'm not a carbon junkie. That said, I think the carbon diffuser, air splitter, and engine bay looks really cool. The carbon bits should be replaceable, so if you chip them, you can always get new ones.

    For me, I prefer a more "elegant GT spec", so full electric seats were a must. Initially wanted to do leather roof lining but was discouraged by the sales manager as it's apparently prone to sagging. JBL speaker upgrade was in consideration, but after comparing the base system with the JBL, felt the standard one was good enough. Passenger display might be a gimmick to most, but I had to have it - gives the interior a really cool vibe.

    Other options I went for were Apple Car Play, stitched horses on the headrests, and coloured seatbelts so belting up makes me feel like I'm about to drive something special. Lastly... paint! Splurged on this, and can't wait to see how it turns out.

    Hope this helps you with your options sheet. =)

    My wife just won a gift pack from Raffles hotel, Singapore. Only trouble is they are insisting that it must be collected from Singapore and since travel is still off the cars we cannot pick it up so if someone wants it pm me quickly so they can take her place :) Note, you must be able to go to Raffles hotel and collect it.

    Regards

    Hi there guys.

    Am in a dilemma and i hope you guys can enlighten me a bit.

    am turning 56 this year and so decided to get myself a ferrari 488 as it’s part of my bucketlist + i love the way the 488 looks.

    Since there is no new 488, the latest is the F8 which is going for 1.1mil w/o COE and options. I am ok with the F8.

    On the other hand, my heart says go for the 488 but i am worried about the maintenance (or lack of) that i might incur by getting a second hand one. A 2nd hand costs about $7-900k depending on the years left. As i read in other forums, seems that maintenance (6-12k sgd) is what i had in mind (so not too much of a worry on maintenance expenses) but the repairs are quite extreme (read 30k for a mudguard or something like that!) or was it 14k? Either way i find it ridiculous but i am prepared to pay in the worst case scenario.

    I would like to know what would be your advise for me - get a new one and go for the 7 year maintenance program which should put my mind at ease or get the 2nd hand one and the difference between buying a new one vs 2nd one can solve all repair problems + save more money?
    Any advise please?

    oh, and i would likely be driving the car for about 2-3 years only before i sell it off. So yeah, that’s what my profile is like. Hope to hear some constructive advise. Thank you.

    Go speak to Michael in Motorway and he would work out a deal for you .

    various options you can look at if you are not buying new .

    Cars are all asking for a premium so you have to be patient .

    Good luck
