    Image Unavailable, Please Login I recently purchased this 2008 F430 Spider and I was looking to get some insight on my spec. I have searched for about two years nearly every single day for this exact spec. Basically the same way I would've ordered it brand new if I had the option.

    I cross referenced every single window sticker I could find online to try to build my own options sheet. In my two years of searching I have never come across another one like this and everyone I've spoken to have said they have never seen these type of options all together. I'm just curious if i did infact find a unicorn car? I felt so lucky to find it but not really sure if it's truly something special. Would love some input from others on this. Pictures and my own window sticker attached from what info I could compile so far.

    You don’t see the colored dashes often. I saw a similar pec for sale in LA when I was searching minus the red accents in the seats and the Bose system.

    in the spider, the colored dash can reflect on the windshield which is usually why it’s avoided. It’s a very pretty combination though. Congrats on finding one exactly how you wanted it! That’s not always easy, but slightly easier if you want a red car :D

    Nice factory carbon airboxes. They are different than all the aftermarket ones out there...

    I don't know how rare it is, but is the outside Rosso Scuderia? If so, I swear I saw this exact car at iLusso in Costa Mesa when I was starting my search. And if that's not the car, then you do have a twin out there.

    Thank you :)

    Yes it was that exact one from iLusso. It wasn't Rosso Scuderia. They mislabeled the listing. I thought it was the entire time and then when I got it and I looked under the hood it said Rosso Corsa.

    Not sure how rare it is, but it's a great spec either way.
    Are those carbon Ceramic brakes? Awesome.

    Yes. I really wanted yellow carbon ceramics. For some reason they're not that common 95% is red. Not a bad thing but I'm surprised you don't see that much yellow on red cars.

    Yeah the yellow is great to match the shields.
    Image the $1040 is just for the yellow color?
    Did you factor in the cost for the carbon ceramic option to your build sheet? Wonder how much the CCBs were?

    CCB's were standard in '08 and '09. Red piping and seats seem rare to me if that's your cup of tea. Congrats on getting exactly what you wanted!

    Yes exactly. I didn't put the ceramics in the build sheet because it was standard. I think they may have accounted for it in the price increase on the MSRP for 08. In 07 the base MSRP was 211,525 vs 228,447 in 08.

    Thank you I appreciate all the kind words:)

    Why is that? I also wanted yellow calipers but most were red. I fee the yellow is a better compliment. One day I’ll find someone that wants red and has yellow so I can swap :)

    135,500. I did take care of a couple things after purchase and added my own touches as well. I did the entire interior sticky button fix, 15mm/11mm spacers to modernize the look, S-Line exhaust + intake heat shield, light ceramic tints to preserve the interior, and currently I'm having all the old PPF removed and getting the entire car PPF'd front to back as well as ceramic coating the body, interior, wheels and calipers. Also needed some mechanical work which I did take care of. Typical 430 items that most people seem to experience when purchasing this car.

    Stunning car, loving the full interior in Cuio, the only thing for me personally that doesnt fit, is the red daytona inserts, but thats a matter of personal taste ofcorse...

    I just realized your headrest's Cavallinos are stitched. That is a rare option on a 430. Became much more common starting with the California and 458.

    Thank you. Yes the headrests are that one option I've never seen but the stitch is faded a lot now from the sun. I did take all the photos myself. iPhone 15 Pro. San Francisco offers such a beautiful array of photo opportunities. The Daytona stripes are definitely something different and not for everyone. My friend said it reminds him of a McDonald's apple pie . Now I can't get that out of my head.

    I like it. Similar to mine. I have taken the ceramics off, and put steels on for the road, don't want what happened to a Porsche Carbon disc happening on the F430. F430's I have found Ferrari's could be really personalised to a high fanatical detail if you had the $$

    I was drawn to mine because it had black carpets, black inserts and dash with Full Crema, most had those Boudeux carpets and red bits which I think really age the inside. You will find we are all different though and what you like, some won't!

    Get the challenge Carbon grill on, it makes the F430 rear end!

    Nice car though congrats.

    Beautiful spec as well. Like how your personalized it to your touch. The 430 I was trying to purchase before this one had the same Daytona seats as yours and it was so nice.

    What happens with the carbon ceramics?

    They are boxed up for when I sell it, Ill put them back on.

    I'm just going through a mod where by I use the massive Giro floating rotors and CCB callipers, so I have all the looks and performance without the potential costs.
