    I don't really post cars on here being that its a public forum. But I spent a lot of time on it and I wanted to share it. I have always thought a manual CS or a manual Scud would be the ultimate car. Heres a little back story.. So before Covid I found a factory gated 360 and with this car(because of Trev and Randy) my dream was to wrench on this car and "build" my own gated CS. Then covid hit and I was in the garage wrenching away during lock down, this car took a little over a year to build before I sold it. In the end I wasn't completely happy with the car and someone offered good money for it so I sold it and bought a F430 spider with the intent to do a manual conversion as a first mod.
    Heres some pics of the 360.
    Factory gated with grey interior with factory Race seats.
    oem CS front and rear bumper
    oem CS side skirts
    oem Challenge rear deck lid with carbon braces
    CS wheels
    oem Challenge door panels
    full alcantara reupholstered interior to red and grey.
    carpet strip with black painted floor
    and etc.

    Now heres the F430. Basic spec, Rosso on Tan.
    As in my past post, I did the EAG conversion back in 2021 and was not satisfied with it at all so I changed it to a Manual Cambio Manuale conversion formally DrS and am way happier with this as it feels like OEM. Im getting all the clicks and clacks of the metal shift gate. Its smooth and just feels like OEM. After that was done, I sent the steering column to get the shift paddle open cover and redone since these were NLA. Had the car for about 4 months after the conversion and thought I wanted to now start modding the look of the car. Next I wanted to do the front and rear 16m bumpers, so I bought the front oem bumper from a member here and found the rear oem bumper locally, with the oem carbon "challenge grill". Sent that off to paint.
    As that was going on I ordered some BBS wheels for the car.

    Actually before I bought this car, I was on my way to a dealer to buy a scuderia and while driving down they called and said it was sold. At the time it was sometime in 2021 and was a 25k mile scuderia for 175k. Ended up with this F430 because there was no cars around.
    Car was in the shop for about 2 months getting the rear subframe drilled for the redirect of the center exhaust. Front and rear bumper install and Sline put in.
    The Sline had to be re piped and came out botched as hell. So I sent the Sline back to sline and had it redone to Scuderia.
    At the same time, I had a ex Gintani guy make me a custom Titanium exhaust, he honestly just copied Sline which is what I wanted anyways

    At this time my Wheels werent ready and I was desperately looking for 16m/Scuderia wheels.
    Also the back of the car didnt look right without the 16 constructors badge. I know its not a 16m but the badge is just so right

    Amazing work! Those pista seats, black carpet, and carbon intake plenums are the chef's kiss. This thread makes me realize how much I don't like my tan carpets and seeing yours with the original seats have sold me this is a good look.
