That is an extremely beautiful car Bertie

The 360 looks very aggressive in black, and those red calipers set it off perfectly.

ENJOY!!!

Lovely car Bertie !

Mind those stone chips though ( I think it's white primer underneath )

Bertie- you already know what I think! Just a suggestion- I'd get the wheelarches, front bumper and the sills up to the rear intake armourfended right now if I were you. The lower rear intake especially, stonechips like a bastard, and it'll break your heart... You may not like armourfend, but in these locations you don't really notice it.

Bertie that looks fantastic, did you get the challenge front grill?

Agree with Kevin, get the armourfend done. Doesn't affect the looks either.

Beautiful Bertie, congrats. The more you drive it the more you will love it. Took my 360 spider down to Le Mans with a few other PH's , it was fantastic, tons of stonechips but theres nothing like pumping down a French m-way showing 180mph on the speedo listening to that V8 @ full chat.....priceless.
Do u have a Tubi fitted? I had mine done by Manu a few weeks ago and my car now sounds 10, no 100 times better @ full chat and even at idle.
Also did you not consider the modular rims? I think they look great, sets you apart from the "normal" 360 and only??? a 1500 option!!!!

Thanks guys and girls.

In no particular order of reply, I'll look inot the Armourfend, any pointers on where to get it done?

Yep the Tuscan went to James Agger and by now to it's new owner I believe. Sad to see it go as I realy enjoyed it, but my sadness is somewhat outweighed with pleasure form seeing the 360 in my garage!

I did consider the modular rims, but the Mrs thought they'd look a bit OTT, I'm not so sure and I know where you're comming from. But at least they can go on later if I decide, albeit at some cost!

I haven't got a Tubi on it, but give me a chance, it's not a week old yet! Does it make it too loud though? It seems to be quite loud now once it gets going, I guess I need to hear one.
I had a bad expierance with a sports exhaust on a Cerbera that made it so loud it was almos unbearable, and I do use them every day.

I think it's time to give it it's first wash tonight, and I'm actualy looking forward to it!

Oh dear.

Bertie,
The tubi does not make it too loud,
I asked the same question prior to getting mine fitted. I went all the way to Le Mans and back with my roof down and not once did I feel that it was bugging me, on the contrary it just made me smile more and more......!
However if you missus thought the Mod rims were a tad OTT, she may not even get in your beast with a Tubi on!
Are you going to pistonfest? If so there will no doubt be a few Tubi's there(including me) for you to listen to.

Jason, has your car gone back to the dealership and will you have it back for Pistonfest?.... remember the first warning light problem.... it took three return visits for them to sort it out by trial and error.... you need to get a Murci... you know it makes sense
