    I thought that some people were looking for pictures of a F430 with the Challenge Grill option. Here is one that I made last week in Maranello ...

    I was in Maranello last week also.

    Saw a few different colours of F430s with the New Challenge Grill.

    If it was called the "optional grill" rather than the "Challenge Grill", would ANYONE spec it - it is FUGLY !!! - it really screws the clean asthetic lines of the standard rear.

    On the 360 the Challenge Grill looked complete - on the F430 it is completely out of place.

    It *may* look slightly better if it was colour coded - perhaps - but stock F430 is far more integrated look.

    What were they thinking ??

    I also think it is very ugly. The Challenge grill on the 360 was amazing, but the F430's look like it's out of place.

    The challenge grill on the F430 just doesn't look right. Maybe in person it looks a lot better. I believe the challenge grill looks best on the 355. I like it on the the 360 as well.

    It doesn't look to have much more functionality then the stock set up. Heck if they can just lift the design from the Challenge car and sell it as an expensive CF option, then why not? Besides this is what you will see on the Stradale(or whatever they'll call it) version.

    it is made of carbon? looks like it in the pic.

    it'll take some time to get used to... i'm sure it'll look better on darker color car such as Siverstone etc.

    I don't think the grill looks that great. However, this is the first time I have seen a picture of ball polished Challenge rims!

    Imo the standard F430 rear is already quite disorderly, and the grille makes it worse. Also, I think the (very) small Cavallino looks a little pathetic...

    I like it - I wish the grill was bigger though. To me, the challenge grill makes the 430 rear look less bulky.

    I have seen the 430 Challenge i(see below) in the flesh and the grill looked awesome. I am sure the 430 will be the same ...

    White is not right on a F430. I thought any color would look good. I was wrong...again!!!!!!!!!!

    personally i think this is the best looking 430 i have seen. It's perfect. May be with black wheels it will be even better tho...

    I don't like it at all, the white paint, chrome wheels, or the challange grill. I love the F430, but those are 3 options not to my taste at all.

    I'd like to see the grill surround in body color, it looks good on the silver car
