360 STRADALE STRIPE

Jenzo,
you would like to think Ferrari UK will armour-fend the £3k optional stripe[at least on the bonnet], but then again.........!

my point exactly...

 

anybody care to add any updates to this thread as there is new products out there

 

dont really see the point Steve, we all know Paintsheild do full front kits now??? You must be bored mate, trawling through old threads.....just make sure they have value pls

 

I wouldnt worry about it too much. It was a £3,600 option on the car when NEW. The actual Ferrari (sticker) part no. 67749200 can be ordered for £294.29 from Eurospares so it wont really break the bank...

Which is why on their promo video it is referred to as a 'hand painted' stripe ?

come on trev this replica thing is convincing yourself

 

This is indeed the same kit used by the Ferrari factory. 'Hand painted' was actually referring to the fact they 'hand painted' the clear coat on top, really, this is no joke!

Ferrari actually confirm when questioned this was a translation interpretation from Italian to English by UK media. Technically YES it was hand painted because the clear coat was hand painted but no cs ever had a hand painted stripe, just hand painted clear coating on top.

 

If you think about the labor involved to clear coat the roof, engine lid and front bonnet, bumper its quite extensive and then theres the x10 markup Ferrari work to, technically the stripe should have cost £2940, add 17.5% vat.. £3454.50, then round up... £3600 Got to hand it to them they KNOW how to make money LOL

 

Oi! I'm not making a replica, I'm making a evolutionized car 'based' on cs specification as the starting point. I dont remember a CS ever having a manual box, 0-60mph in 3.5 secs, a 10 sec qtr mile with 600hp/1100kgs and a 220mph vmax

On the tri color stripe front I think its more painful for owners who bought their car NEW to think of the price they paid for the 'hand painted' stripe as NOT being anything else. Sure, just keep telling yourself that

 

those stats are all hyperthetical tho Trev, at the moment its just a replica

Joking apart mate, what you are doing is awesome. Just wish you had gone for the lemans style look, it would have been very very special.

 

If your a pikey you can always buy a reproduction stripe from ebay (actually its a pretty damn accurate rendition done on computer) for 137 quid...

Who knows, I may put the fully carbon GT-C race spec front bumper on at some point... that pretty much depends on what the challenge boys recommend for the aerodynamics. I'm just starting with the CS as the base..

Already they are already beefing up the chassis to F430 spec to handle all the extra power. They are also suggesting a GT-C adjustible carbon rear wing for when the 6th gear ratio is upped to take 220mph. We'll see...

 

I see this on fleabay yesterday

Yeh, I was already offered one of them, I'm more thinking GT-C racer fully CF, not Challenge but thanks for posting.
