What are people paying? Just got a quote from Lovetts for the first annual I have to pay for, seems expensive at £1200. I did ask if there were any offers on labour rates, someone mentioned on here a new scheme ferrari have put in place 'specialista'?, but Lovetts said it only applies to 430...

Don’t do facebook or the like, which I suppose is how most pass this message on these days, so wanted to give my season greetings to my CS buddies. I’ve made some great friends over the last few years through CS (and continue to make new ones), especially since we’ve started meeting in real...

Looking to fit titanium hex wheel bolts to the 458. Had them on the 430 and think they look ace. Should have swapped for standards before px:cry3: Obviously not going to pay the £2k or whatever Ferrari charge for the set, and personally prefer the hex head design over the Hill eng Torx head...

Having thoroughly enjoyed our foray over the border last weekend, thoughts turn to next year already :). Here's some comments / questions / opinions from me: If we are to have 2 again in 2019, I think the times of year work perfectly (due to weather, traffic volumes and it's a perfect start &...

Well I have never kerbed an alloy before, what worse way to start than in a 458 Italia :cry3: Done at walking pace turning around :cry3: UNBELIEVABLE ! It's quite nasty - not just paint - the metal is very rough so would need filing / filling? Can anyone recommend if this is reparable? I'm...

Let’s pretend that your Ferrari has suffered paint damage at a main dealer. Let’s pretend that the dealer denies responsibility despite the fact that you are 100% sure as you spend hours cleaning your car and know every mark on it. Let’s then pretend that the car was collected by them and...

Does anyone know how to confirm the manuacture date on a Fiamm Battery? The black and white sticker with year and month has nothing marked on it (I assume it should be marked with fitting date) Does the white sticker indicate week or month and year i.e week/month 2, 2014? I don't want to...

During my viewing of the 458, I noticed on an invoice that one of the rear wheel arch anti-stone chip tapes had been replaced by a main dealer during a service. I noticed that it hadn't been fitted correctly leaving a small section exposed - compare both sides below: (no doubt applied by the...

.......Pininfarina desiged 458 Italia :grin::grin::grin: WHAT A MACHINE!!! Can’t wait to put some miles on it come spring. Seriously impressed how capable it feels, super compliant and confidence inspiring and feels much faster than the 430 which I thought was pretty mega. The gearbox is a...

This arrived today:) My favourite era for both Ferrari and motor racing, when men were men and “p.c.” meant police constible.

I have a new toy to play with – a Muvi K2 Pro action camera. Been thinking of getting one for a while for a few different uses including use with the car. Last weekend I had chance to test it out early in the morning on some quiet roads in Mid Wales that I know well. I was a bit nervous...

MOT today - passed fine but tester picked up that the rear tyres had a different tread depth, its quite significant - a few mm difference. I had only checked the driver side rear before the test and assumed the other side would be the same as they usually always are. The tyres were new and...

Does anybody have a copy of a higher res file of the CS logo(s) ? I've asked the committee and drawn a blank, perhaps some ex. committee members have them? They must exist as the club have had some banners made in the past which would have needed them for print - see photo below: I would...

The sun was making good reflections this afternoon.. And here's one for Milkshaker from work this week..:grin:
