Default 575M with 550 Modulars

Looked at this 575M on E-Bay and it just did not look right at first glance. First one I have seen with the 550 modulars, which look great on 550s, but just seem out of place on a 575M.

Every day I look around, and if nobody is shooting at me, it is a pretty good day.

Default Wheels...It's Got Wheels !

Attractive car in the darker Gray of the titanio.

My friend Doug Teague owns a 456 in this
color, and I prefer it over my 456 in Grigio Ingrid.

The interior looks black, and not the indicated
blue...............

Says manual transmission, but photographed
as an F1.......

Not a bad price.

I wonder if the 575 prices are falling in anticipation of
the 599 replacement.

599 price falls, hence the 575 drops.

I remember the 575 - like mine - having a much
"thinner" spoke arrangement, like on this car:

The rears look totally lost in the arch, odd decision to swap out the 19s

575 looks great in that colour

Hi Terry, When you found this I thought about it, and remembered that a guy on f-chat bought a set of 19" Mods from Chris Knoppe a few years ago.

I sent him a PM asking how he like the 19" wheels vs 18"
he said O.K. but if he ever found 18" Barchetta he would much prefer to have them!

Well I told him about your find, and said maybe you can make a deal with them, He did !

His OEM 18" + a few thousand $ .....

I just love that we can help one another out !

Cheers,

Bill

Duane- We try to highlight things whenever we see them. Sometimes they make a connection, sometimes not.

We have taught a ton of people how to upgrade to the Fiorano Handling Package.
