NürScud, it took me from 2014 till 2021 to find what I wanted (at a huge price inflation cost over that time) but I think, as you say, they are among the well preserved ones, and I tried to get them closer to how they were (while keeping the original parts as opposed to replacing them with shinier new untrue ones).

Now this is Art. Pagani is more like porn. And maybe it's the color but the red one looks more clean to me. Less exposed to the element's.
Specifically made just for the F50 and not produced since around 2005. I believe they have more than enough correct brand new sets stored away to swap them out at any time, not like the cars will be wearing away the rubber anyway. The only fresh, in date alternatives are those actually made for a Diablo I understand. Not quite cricket to be seen wearing those at any concours events.
Hard as wood by now, but a beautiful thing to see on an F50 at a concours as they are proof that the car wears original equipment.
Exactly, no one is going to do a track day on them, but they wont be bursting anytime soon either on a show car. If any current owners, who have used their cars as intended. and as a result it is now sat on non F50 spec tyres, and they plan to retire it gracefully to the show fields then here you go:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333843736447 I know the owner, so if anyone would like addition photos just send me a private message. They are like virtually new visually. Only such set available on the open market I believe.
Really nice seeing this outside of Austin today. Literally made my day. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I’ve always been a big F50 fan so to see it like this and at that time really was cool. I hope it’s staying in the Austin area. I’m also always amazed at how nice it has aged over the years. Such a great look imo.
Those are not real plates, just display items, it's had a couple different genuine plates Stateside. Image Unavailable, Please Login

What are the panels with the rippled surface made of and are they different from the CF trays because of heat or wear? Great shot of the mechanicals which to me are even more enjoyable than the bodywork or interior.
The panels with the rippled surface are the underside of the actual main structural tub, that finish extends into the front wheel arches - they are covered with a thick durable rubberised coating - guess its to give protection from stones and road rash. It is a thick application as I noted a bit chipped off on another F50 and it was about 6 or 7mm thick. Mark
Here you see it extending up into the front wheel arch. It is only the exposed section of the actual tub that has this coating. Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my ELE-L29 using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Thanks for the explanation, Mark, and here is a close-up showing the rubberised coating and CF Image Unavailable, Please Login
