My Fuoco Italia (Warning: Picture Heavy!)

Imho another 15mm lower will do the trick visually and not cause any issues if you are
mindful when you drive

 

Strange question i know but where did you get your car mats ? Ive been hunting everywhere for them!

 

Astonishingly sexy

 

That explains why ferrari nottingnham couldnt find them listed ! 3rd party mats it is then

 

It is always hard to capture color accurately. Is this picture more true to the real color? It seems to more closely match the others that show up on a google search.

So your car is an orange based red and not the cherry red I seem to find online? BTW, I love your Daytona seats with inserts. By far my favorite but relatively few people seem to order them.

 

Hi Andy

I have really enjoyed reading your posts and seeing the pictures of your car.

I have a car on order and can't wait to get it next year!

Would you be able to tell me who did the PPC on your car and the approx cost?

Also what approach did you take to the lowering of the car?

I really like the idea of the wheel spacers, not something I had really considered before.

Regards

Michael

 

What does that paint color option cost...approximately?

 

Same car in sun and cloudy days....once you see rosso fuoco in person, you forget all about the idea of rosso corsa. Cloudy days it doesnt look so good, same for under show room lights but sunny days it stops traffic. The in sun picture matchrs most closly what the car looks like in the flesh.

My Rosso Maranello paint option was $28,980.

 

Thanx AndyG, exellent write-up and photos !

I would advise you not to use only one jack in this job ... the 458 may be too fragile for it.

Would recommend two jacks or an extra wooden block or even two .... like I always did with my 512TR.

I read terrible stories about windows cracking and other paint cracks somewhere.

Keep us posted in future please !

What a great color combo! Looks amazing

 

Absolutely gorgeous.
The old adage, if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right.
Congratulations on such a beautiful car.
And the additional advice of using more that one jack........please do. Too much safety & too much car to cut corners on something so simple.

 

I think if I'm correct Mel? meant the issue is more around the jack being a pivot point and you effectively have the car balanced on the pivot which will put strain into that point and could possibly stress the structure with the weight being both ends and could lead to cracked paint or windows, more than the risk of it falling...

I do love the fact that you both enjoy your car to the max with putting the miles on it, then also enjoy the clean up and care afterwards, that's what it is all about!

Regards

Michael

 

Correct, there is no jackpoint in the middle so it may dent the lower sills. (I've seen some ... and repair costs are high ... )

Or us a wooden plank or so ... just be very careful was my only message

 

Yeah that must be me!

It's second best to not having my own Rosso Fuoco Ferrari...

Lovely car and pictures, keep enjoying and keep sharing!
