2007 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider

[stilez]

Up for grabs, the nicest car I`ve worked on to date. This is one of those you find yourself spending more than extra time detailing and, in the mix, remarking on the amazing details of this rare exotic. This particular car is equipped with every option available sans the upgraded stereo. In agreement with the owner, you don`t buy this car to enjoy CDs. Note the $17k Ceramic Brake upgrade ;).



The owner took delivery back in November and it only got a couple rides before the northeast weather set in. So, this one sits with just shy of 100 miles. Becoming rather intimate with this Italian, I found that not even $300k will get you perfection from the factory. I noted some moderate marring on the fenders (probably from clearbra install), hologramming on the passenger rear 1/4 and some overspray just behind the driver`s door...

Nothing a little clay, polish, and wax can`t take care of, but still. Nothing will ever be p-e-r-f-e-c-t. My quest to get as close as possible resulted in about 6 hours of work on a vehicle 99% of people would think *may* need a wash. Here we go...
