    As with many other 456 owners, I thought the stock tire/wheel combination
    was a bit lacking on our '01 mgt. I also thought that the lower cladding
    being painted black dated the car. I had the front and rear bumper covers
    and lower rockers sprayed silver and installed some 19/20 GFG's (sorry, I
    hadn't installed the center caps yet). Anyway, I'm sure the purists will
    bash it, but I am much happer with the look.

    Best regards,

    Ben

    Looks great! Also good to see the six-speed! Too many Auto 456s out there.

    Looks great, especailly the painted lower body. Definitely a sportier look, nice work.

    Oh I like it. The rims really make the car look better.

    I've been looking at 456's for some time now and haven't been able to put my finger on exactly what I didn't like about them. You hit the nail right on the head with your mods...looks great! Please post a side-by-side before and after if you get the chance...thanks!

    Ben, I realize that this is your first attempt at modifying a car but don't be so hard on yourself. Yes, there are those on this board that may bash you playing with perfection but I for one would like to say thanks. Thanks for taking the only Ferrari that I really didn't care for and making it totally lustful. Looks great! That is a great color and really makes me miss my 355 in GT.

    By the way, brakes? I have seen you drive on the road and track and didn't think you knew how to use those. Hell with the brakes, I say head to Mizu and throw a 18psi kit and that thing.
