Yeah, get the 360CS mirrors!!!!

 

Hi all,

I'm looking at ordering an F430. What wheels are on Soshry's yellow 430 coupe? Is it OEM?

Also, do F430's only come in F1 tranny's? Sorry for the basic question. I'm new with the 'prancing horse'.

Thanks a lot guys.

 

yes and yes. if it wasnt oem than how would you order it from the factory then?

 

Can you not still get a 6sp?

 

Perhaps not.

The wheels look like Challenge wheels, but the finish appears aftermarket. Also 430's are mostly F1, but are available in 6-speed manual shift.

 

Check this link out....F430 6spd

Thanks for replies. Are people happy with the F1 tranny? Looks like I'll be getting a manual being an 'old school' guy.

 

I think theres a misunderstanding, I thought he was talking about the wheel itself, not the finish. if the finish is what you guys are talking about then it most likely is aftermarket.

while we are are on the topic about this finish for the wheel, look at this car! if somebody would offer me a choice of 1000's or f430's and that car was in the pack, I would take it in a hearbeat.

I did that to my 430 spider as well but for $80 USD you can just by the horse and drill a hole.

Love the CF vents and mods to your car. Great job.

If I may be so rude I would lightly tint the windows as well?

 

manual rocks...I just got mine.... love it!!!! All my cars have been manual (porsche included)....get the Manual...you wont be sorry.

Hey BCS, we're on the same page. I love my tranny on my 997 GT3. But I may have to let this white baby go if I 'go to the dark side' and get the F430. To bad I can't keep both. Very hard choice actually between the two. My head wants me to keep the GT3 but my heart wants the 430!

 

Hi,

How much did it cost you to have the black part of the intake painted in Red? Did they painted only the intake portion or the entire front bumper? I like the results... Thanks.

 

if you can afford the 430.... i'd ditch the gt3 in a sec. You'll love the manual in the 430!!!

 

Looks great! very tastefully modded.

 

the wheels are painted not powder coated right ?

 

Very nicely done!!!!....Looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Thanks,
UZY
