    They should have stuck with the shallower GTE wheels. The car looks more right with them.

    Love these sort of threads. What shade of silver green is that? Is that verde chiaro?

    I'm not sure it's anything more than a shade the owner preferred at the time of restoration.

    5073 was restored in Costa Rica circa 2006. An attempt was made to fix the sneering grille at the time, but if you ask me, it looks as though the issue goes beyond just the position of the grille. The fender and headlight on the driver's side (the fender replaced by Ed) appears to sit noticeably lower than the other fender and headlight.

    Thanks. Starting to realise more and more that some of the older Ferraris painted in non Ferrari shades.

    Wayne, before the Costa Rica restoration the left fender sat higher. Look at the pictures when burgundy. Now it sits lower.

    Yes, appears so. A total mess.
