Re: 430scud Racing livery question
Rossi, please help: I am thinking Corsa Red exterior, with black alcantara interior (INTA and BATA, including door sills), grey strips, grey rims, grey fabric (T3D1 aka the fabric on the seats and roof) grey 4 point safety belt, grey stiching and Corsa Red calipers. The steering wheel with upper crown in carbon fibre and leds it's a must.
Here is where I have second thoughts:
1. Black or Silver calipers instead of Red ones?
2. TPM0 will make my life a hell o the track?
3. IPOD in such a car? I would say no.
4. I really hate the look and the space the fire extinguisher takes... I would say no.
5. Space saver wheel kit? I would say no.
6. I hate the way the dashboard looks without a radio and I could need the bluetooth if I am drivin to the track as I plan to do, so BLUC, yes.
7. Driver's seat adjustment? I wold say no. It's a mechanical thing.
Anything else?

I would specc my Scuderia very similar to yours. I'd choose rosso corsa as well, not sure about the damn stripe though. Sure it is something special for the Scuderia, but I think it is rather bland looking, especially if you compare it to the gorgeous stripe of the Challenge Stradale.
Black alcantara for the interior is fine, perhaps I would prefer red fabric instead of grey. That looked very nice in the first official pics, nice contrast to the black alcantara. In any case I would order BATA, I'm no friend of the undisguised wheel arches.
I'd go for black calipers, but that is just me. I don't like red calipers at red cars, just too much red if you ask me. Silver is no option IMO.
Don't like the fier extinguisher also, but I would tick the TPM. But then I don't take my cars to the track regularly, so it might be different in your case.
I would order the car without radio, so no need for Ipod also. Most probably I would go for an aftermarket navi system like TomTom.
No space saver, I never had that. And driver's seat adjustment is totally depending on your size and figure.
The roll bar looks cool, as said above I would not need it, but that may be not the case if you take the car to the track.
Re: 430scud Racing livery question
"I would specc my Scuderia very similar to yours." - That's why I am asking you Rossi 
I noticed we have similar opinions.
I am still undecided on some of the options and I really need to close the options list this week if I want to receive the car this spring.
The calipers color is the worse decision for me. Black or Corsa Red? At Frankfurt the red car had black ones as in many test drive videos I've seen. Only the Auto Motor und Sport video had a red car with red calipers.
For the rest it's easier:
Ferrari 430 Scuderia (net list price - Ex-Budapest) Grey strips and grey rims.
Exterior colour EXTC Corsa Red
Interior colour INTC Black
Two layer fabric colour (Red, yellow, black, grey) T3D1 Grey
Rpm counter in red or yellow RPMX Yellow
Super racing seats (S-M-L sizes) RSCH Large
4 point safety belts 4HAR Grey
Racing livery PNT4 Grey
Steering wheel with upper crown in carbon fibre and leds LEDS Yes
Underdoor moulding and wheel arch in Black Alcantara BATA Black
Alcantara trim interior INTA Black
Bluetooth BLUC Yes
Standard stitching in colour upon request STC1 Grey (T3D1 gives the color for the stiching, so no need to select STC1)
Brake calipers in Red colour CALR Or Black?
Tyre pressure monitoring system TPM0 Yes?
Driver's seat adjustment RSFT No
Space saver wheel kit WHE3 No
Handy fire extinguisher EXT1 No
Road legal roll-bar ROL4 No?
I-pod installation IPOD No?

Re: 430scud Racing livery question
My specs are very similar to yours but decided to go for the red calipers, the black ones are nice but it makes the HUGE CCcalipers almost not apparent... The red calipers would look sportier IMO.
Concerning the 4 points harness, the modis @ my dealer's didn't show "grey" as an option, it only showed: red, black and blue. I ordered mine 4 points H. in red / black alcantara / red tech. Fab.
Trying to image grey 4 points H. with my combination... You got me thinking there...

Re: 430scud Racing livery question
Believe me, the headache starts from the exterior color...
My specs...
- Rosso Corsa (White is tempting me so much)
- CALR
- Black alcantara / red tech. fabric
- STC1 - red
- 4 Point safety Harnesses - red
- Driver's Seat Adjustment Device (A must for resell)
- Radio / Bluetooth + iPod (We do like to enjoy some music from time to time, don't we??)
- Racing Livery
- Gunmetal Wheels
- Steering Wheel / Carbon / Led
- Door Sills in Carbon
- TPMS
- Space Safer Wheel (Be in need of one... You'll know it's importance...)
That's pretty much it... Could still modify, my allocation is in October. Would consider the Nuovo Rosso Scuderia if that would be available and @ a reasonable price.......
.......Or White

This calipers thing it's killing me.
I'd opt for the black ones. The calipers, let alone the brake discs, are impressive enough when you take a look up close. The Scuderia, in my humble opinion, is not a car that needs flashy gadgets.
Re: 430scud Racing livery question
FWIW, I have always like red calipers on a red car. They are not flashy because the red blends well with the rest of the car.
Whatever you do get the strips in the grey and get the radio. The radio is included in the price of the car (at least in the US it is).
