More F355 tinkering. This time with a chissel
Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 1:06 pm
I decided to do a couple of cosmetic jobs on the 355 which had been bugging me recently.
1st up was the Sills. A couple of the cars I looked at when car-hunting had replacement carbon fiber sills and, whilst mine weren't too rusty, it did niggle at me a bit.
The c/f ones were ordered from PowerSpeed Carbon with the silver c/f inserts.
Bought from Australia, made to spec in Japan, paid for in US Dollars Mind you, the exchange rate is cool so it was almost a bargain(ish)
First time I had attacked a ferrari with a chissel... great fun!!
The Original ones in situ
Slightly past the point of No Return
What came off (thankfully) and what was going on (hopefully)
Yeeeehaaa!!!
By this point I was almost brave....
The day after getting the car I had made a bit of an ar$e of cleaning the centre consol surface and managed to scratch one of the panels and also the ashtray. That also niggled a bit.
I knew there were a few options for sorting it out but I also noted that PowerSpeed Carbon did a Carbon Fiber set for the interior panels.
I wasn't too sure whether I would like it or not but a couple of emails later and it was agreed that I could have a full set on approval with the option of simply returning the items if I wasn't entirely happy.
I wondered that it might not be to everybodys taste but what the hell... I really like it. It is far more subtle and matt than it appears in the pics. The
So a big to PowerSpeed Carbon from me.
