I just built my 430 and have some questions....

A couple comments. The hifi sound isn't that great, and the large center speaker between the two seats really eats into storage room. I had it on my last 360 and did not spec it on my 430. If you want quality sound in your car, it makes good sense to go to the aftermarket.

 

I just locked on my July build car this week as well and ended up with an options list very similiar to yours except I included CCB's and rear parking sensors. I have the "Hi-Fi" option on my F430 Spider and I do not like how obtrusive the center two speakers are.

 

you should check out TDF blue over beige for a comparison if you like blue.

 

You must like blue. Do you have any photos of the colors you are talking about? Personally, I can't stand blue interiors. Have you considered maybe a dark natural leather color (sort of a dark version of what Nasharty has on his car). I guess it's personal taste and as long as you like it, that's the main thing. The darker blues with the tan interiors look great. I saw a stunning 550 in that combo onces and it looked first class.

did you think about the Daytona upholstery for the rear? Ball polished wheels?

 

+1! Mirabeau is too light IMHO. Tdf is the way to go if you want blue

 

Dump the hi fi.Worthless

Get a light interior color. The darker blue is too dark and does not give enough contrast.

Consider different wheels other than the standard i. e. polished wheels or Challenge wheels.

Consider yellow calipers and yellow tach again for contrast.

 

My 360 is blue scuro interior on Azzuro California. It's a beautiful combination.

I have seen the Azzuro with Sabbia and Tan interiors but feel the scuro was a better choice and was more elegant. Yes the others offer a great contrast, but I did not think the tan went well with Azzuro.

Make sure you get shields as well.

I'd dump the factory Hi-Fi also as the drivers are trash and the cost is absurd.

I'd dump the run flats and the TPMS as well.

Other than that it sounds great.

Mirabeau is a beautiful color that I have seen on a 360 spider.

I can send you photos of my all blue interior if you'd like to see it.

 

yellow tach has the very cool "glow" efftect.

 

the 250 gt style headliner is a great look

 

What is your projected purchase/delivery date?

 

After seeing 'ball polished rims', I would change to that option.

 

I never thought of that angle...My wife never drives my cars and I have (with my fingers crossed) not scrapped any of the rims I've had on any of my cars.
