Ferrari 458 AFS Headlamp and seat bolster wear query

[slow_1]

Hi,

I'm currently looking to purchase a 458 Ferrari and now looked at a few registered between 2010 and 2013 but I've been unable to determine if they have the AFS headlamp option. Is there any easy way to visually tell that a 458 has this option fitted?

I've also looked at a couple of low mileage cars that were specified with Daytona seats rather than the racing seats and I've noticed that the drivers side seat bolster is showing wear even with a low indicated mileage - is that normal?

Thanks for any assistance provided.

AFS - not visually, though it should be pretty obvious on a test drive. Only sure fire way of knowing without driving the car I think is if it has lift specced, since AFS is a required option for it.

Can't speak about bolster wear other than in general terms. I hold onto the A pillar and drop myself in the seat, pivoting my legs in, but I could see how someone who doesn't care much about this would rub the bolsters every time they get in or out.
