I love the Scud parts but i think i will go with the original exterior. On the list is the full Capristo Twinsound System and a set 16M headlamps...
Ahhhh.....16M headlamps...once you go there, be careful, it's a slippery slope. Next you'll be want FACTORY scuderia exterior....lol. Capristo twinsound with headers...then test pipes...god....she'll scream.!!!!
Christian, I've just visited this thread and it's a joy to read. Lovely F430 you have there with some great upgrades!
What do you have at the moment? Do you have the subwoofer enclosure? Fresh off my iPhone via Tapatalk
Yes, i have the middle system. sub but no Bose. I just thought about only to upgrade the speakers. So all will look original, nothing to change but a better sound. But i don't know how my system work, if ony the Becker unit makes the sound or if there a amplifier in the car. Do you know?
Leave the Becker unit, change the speakers and sub and throw in a mini amp if you like. I don't believe amps exist from factory. -- Fresh off my iPhone via Tapatalk
Just found out, that the box under the dashboard covers a small amplifier. I will start with an upgrade in the doors. @Jim: Thanks!
Ok, i don´t start with the doors, i start with the complete system... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Now i have to wait for the delivery from the speakers. Ordered a 2-way set Focal 165 KR2 and two Focal Utopia 13 sub. Headunit is the Becker/Ferrari Cascade and i like it but i´m not sure if it´s really good in Pre out config. Amplifiers comes from Focal, too. Perhaps FPS 1500 for the subs and FPS 2300 RX for the door system.
Wow! That's quite an upgrade. Ear candy to match the eye candy on your ride. Fresh off my iPhone via Tapatalk
Yes, i thought if i do the hifi upgrade, i should do it right! Lot of work, but it´s fun to do it and i hope it will sound nice. @Paul: I´m not sure how i will build in the amps. Perhaps at the bottom of the trunk and then put in a top on it, to make the amps unvisible.
Nice. Mini amps not good enough for you? Lol. You must be an audiophile. I'm pretty basic when it comes to audio. My favorite setup is Capristo. Lol... Fresh off my iPhone via Tapatalk
Yes, Highender at home and normally i´m not that hifi freak in the car but the original config sounds really bad...
I discovered today while they were tinting my windows that someone had written the build number and color on the inside of the door, I was wondering if someone in the factory did that, now I know for sure, looks like the same handwriting Image Unavailable, Please Login
I didn't realise this "Tomorrow I pick up my first horse...." thread had become such a build/project. Well done Christian, you're doing some lovely upgrades. p.s. Have you driven it yet but? (just kiddin' )
They always do this at the salvage yard But seriously I thought they were painted post door installation, so not sure why the parts would ever be separated after fitment. I have not been on the factory tour.
