Great job. That car is gorgeous.

I LOVE the size and color of those brake calipers. Just sets off the car.

 

Nice work on that, Cosmin! Pozzi blu is my favorite color for Ferraris! I've noticed you do quite a lot of F-Cars these days and I congratulate you! The bumpers and other fiberglass parts on Ferraris are always the worst parts, as they're painted in a different place (by hand) so post-painting repair (wet sanding, polishing) is very common on those parts.

great job

 

great work on a beautiful car.

 

usually i see the new ones with holograms , but in this case wetsand was present.
on 458 i hate those vents/ wire mesh , takes so much tape/time to get everything covered.
