Ferrari F430 to 16M conversion and beyond - Part 1

I’ll document the journey of my project F430 over several blog posts. It’s my second F430 and I’ve owned it just over a year, and in that time I’ve transformed it from the standard car by saving weight and adding performance. This first post starts from the beginning.

2008 F1, 25k miles, 1 owner, and full Ferrari history with one performed every year from new. The clutch was replaced 1k miles ago and prior to sale the ball joints have been replaced with Hill versions. It has both original keys, and a large history file with the original bill of sale. The CCMs are barely worn.

Options:

• Carbon Driving Zone;
• Carbon F1 paddles;
• Carbon rear segment (Challenge grille);
• Carbon steering wheel airbag surround;
• Carbon steering wheel with rosso 12 o’clock strip;
• Electric seats
• Heated Seats;
• Giallo Callipers;
• iPod interface;
• Scuderia wing shields;
• Nero leather roll over hoops;
• Nero leather trim with contrast rosso stitching;
• Radio / Navi / Bluetooth System;
• TPMS.

The car was supplied by Autologix. David is great to deal with; there’s no sales rubbish, just a really down to earth approach from an enthusiast. I have been impressed with the attention to detail as the prep is certainly Ferrari showroom standard.
