    ready to order 430,opinions and help needed plz!!!

    hi all i decided today to make the move ,went to the dealer,got a built date and everything ,these are the options i am taking:
    scuderia shields , yellow calipers ,leather roof panel,leather rear bench and underdoor ,electrical seats , hifi with sub , bluetooth ,cd changer ,stitching,rear sensors
    as for the hardest part that is the color int/ext i am lost between 2 combinations :
    1- solid black exterior with black interior with yellow stitching,yellow rpm,yellow seat belts(if available),yellow calipers and the yellow shields of course
    2-titanium exterior with dark tan interior (cuio sella,check the pic) as the one on my current 360, i like it ,also yellow rpm,yellow calipers,shields but without stitching.
    any other suggestions ,or color combos will be helpful . and what interior colors suits the titanium exterior?
    thanks

    I would not go with the Black/Black, but I love the interior shown above. I think that interior color would go well with Black, Red, or Blue. For Titanium exterior, I think the dark burgundy red interior is best...

    With Titanium try a blue interior. They have several shades. They all look real good.

    Option 2! Titanium exterior with Tan or Red interior... your current shade of tan looks nicest!

    Can't imagine a 430 w/o CCM and w/o sport seats....
    Would get the Enzo style wheels if getting CCM....o/w the CS-style wheels are better for hiding the "girlie" brakes
    Consider carbon fiber for dash inserts and cf paddles.
    With titanium, may want to also consider blk leather w/red stitching, tach, scud red calipers...or yell stitch, tach, yell calipers....
    So, F is now doing colored belts? Borrowing P option ideas again are they? (they're offering painted wheels as well)....

    Black on black with yellow stitching, yellow calipers and sheilds is

    titanium and brown, dark tan (same thing) ? Not for me at all. Ferrari interiors shouldn't look brown imo. But there's lots of them out there so my opinion means nothing in the grander scheme of things.

    Titanium with black interior and silver stitching looks awesome. Yellow calipers and sheilds.

    Yeah, the tan and wine-colored stuff in a F seems like "elder gentleman racer" look

    Also consider tit w/blk leather and silver stitching, yell calipers and tach...or alum-colored calipers and tach.....I believe a rennteamer recently got a similar-spec'd 430 and posted pics...

    dhayek,

    go with the black/black with yellow contrast combo!!
    Don't forget to get the "SPECIAL STITCHING" which is only slightly more expensive (EUR200 or so) but looks so much more luxurious.

    My thought as well. Really do not need the upgrade.

    Iyori do you have a black interior with the special yellow stitching? If so I would love to see a picture.

    IMO standard stereo quality is quite acceptable, and having in mind that in the F430 it's kind of a crime to listen to the stereo...

    and personally i don't like this subwoofer installment behind/between the seats.

    Gary, shouldn't you be called "tit430", instead of "tdf360"? I'm sure you can probably out-drive in your "classically elegant" 430 any of the guys who opt for the 430s w/"boy racer" color schemes and PlayStation-like trannies....

    Yes I did. The car came off the line around 7/26 or so. It has not been invoiced so I assume it has not cleared customs yet. Brad and Evan are so busy these days I hate to bother them asking for continual updates, I'm sure they'll let me know when it's on the truck. When was yours completed? Color and options? Coupe or Spider?

    Personally I don't like the red stitching with a black interior. It just seem "too much" for me.
    But allow me another question: why did you order the PDC? Is it really necessary? And don't the sensors look some kind of weird at a Ferrari sports car (it's no 612 Scag )?

    rossi ,i drive my car everyday ,sensors can only be a plus ,unless they look bad ,on my current modena i installed a pdc that is a band that you place inside the rear bumper ,it is working excellent ,and you dont see anything from the outside .and in case i see a pic of sensors on 430 and they look bad i will delete the option for sure ,and franckly i am 90% sure they will look bad ,and i will install my "old" pdc...
    concerning the red stitching,the black interior without any "trick" looks a little bit fade thats why i am thinking of stitching(yellow or red)

    Did anybody ask for pics again?

    This is Jean Todt's blue F430 Spider. In that colour you can hardly recognise the PDC, at least on these pics. Funny thing is, that he seems to have PDC rear AND front, but if you are not Jean Todt, you can only order PDC for the rear.

    Rossi, thx for the pictures Is it TDF Blue ?

    How do you know it is Jean Tod's car?
    In France he used to drive a black 575M, with black tinted glasses and black-painted wheels, and a diplomatic license plate from the Republic of San Marino (He is one of the ambassadors, along with M.Shumacher).
    Seems like he likes special wheels, as the ones of his spider are chromed ones.
