Pre Le Mans F430 modifications

[The Surveyor]

So I'm taking the F430 down to Le Mans this year for the 24hr and after struggling with the lack of sat-nav on a recent trip around Northern Ireland, I've made a few modifications.

The important thing is that these are fully reversible, and won't leave trace, much like the very slight lowering of the suspension front and rear, and exhaust valve controller

Firstly, I don't like trailing cables and as there is no USB socket for charging phones, I made a small panel, carpeted it and mounted it on the tunnel carpet cover so it's partially under the dash and not obvious








I've also mounted an Android Auto screen on the dash, bolted in place using the fixings for the 'F430' badge with a power cable concealed below. It's nice a rigid and operate 'Waze' via Bluetooth and links to the car stereo via FM so hopefully I won't get lost

Impressive
And there I was “proud of myself for putting a new battery in my car”

For charging stuff I just carry a small Einhell starter pack with usb port in the car. Not a particularly neat solution, but has the advantage that I can also use it when sitting in a bar/restaurant/coffee place etc (and use it to start my car when it inevitably goes flat again)
