Not exactly one of the factory 575 GTs.

Bernard- Thanks. The grille is a 550 with the lights in the opening left out. Those grilles on the hood/bonnet look like they are just glued on and non-funtional. From the interior shots, trunk opening slot, and the 5.2 engine, everything is 550 except for the wheels. Custom front bumper or one with a lip added to the bottom.

Yet, those are 575 headlights, and that air scoop opening is 575 size rather than the 550, maybe not really hard ti tell in those pics. What a mess., Hey ED, I was standing right next to you when you took those shots. I remember that day.

The brake discs are not original, these are 2 piece discs.

Daniel- Welcome to Ferrari Life. The brakes on my car are not original, either, but I like them.

The branded valve stems might be pushing it, Taz.

Terry have been meaning to ask you if the brake setup is "floating" discs.

If so are they noisy? do you get a constant rumble?

I had a floating setup but being steel discs the rumble drove me crazy and I had to send the discs back to get them to a "semi floating" state.

btw I always thought your brake setup and the amount of care you took into putting it together was/is top notch

Trabant- Those were actually a Ferrari accessory a few years back. They are not the cheap ones you see now on E-Bay. My car has an aftermarket TPMS system, and the valve stems are pretty plain compared to the OEM Berus. Those caps dress up the rubber valve stems.

Alexander- Fixed caliper, no rumble, no brake dust, just great brakes. Kind of pretty, too, now that you mention it, thanks.
