Very nice. Where are you in Italy ?

[pete-r]

F430 calipers will be a squeeze?

[leevx2.2]

I like how you have widened the front look's very nice good job 

[Stefano135]

Thank you All,

@ianrm I'm at about 50 km from Rome.

@pete-r what do you mean with "squeeze" ?

I love this, especially the bodywork. I think pete means how do they fit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Dan r]

Very nicely done

[Stefano135]

Calipers need a 10 mm adapters with an offset of about 20mm but I do not remember the exact size.

You eventually can use oem holes and put other discs with less offset to fits without adapters (spacers are needed for 330mm discs)

@pete-r what do you mean with "squeeze" ?

 

A very tight fit! 

[ArticMonkey]

Looks ace. I used the rear spats to give both front and rear arches a wider stance. Yours is another level.

[ChrisS1]

That looks great!

Really well done   

[Stefano135]
