Absolutely amazing, this is definitely a long way from pulling MX5 engines in and out of a kit car!

Fair play to you for getting your dream car. Enjoy it! The side profile looks absolutely incredible

Never tiring of looking at this sitting outside (or in the garage)

The upgrading bug has started already…..

I’ve ordered a complete carbon interior package including the centre console, radio and clock surrounds, vent surrounds and doorcards.

The seats are also in production at the Cobra factory and being trimmed to my own custom specification as per the attached pic…

I was provided with some samples of the dinamica (suede material) that they’re being trimmed in - I opted for the darker grey and red

And to complete the CS conversion, I’m having the dash retrimmed in the same grey and red material. Grey upper half and red lower half as per the pic below….

Pulling the dash out of a Ferrari is going to be scary but I’ve been assured that they’re ‘easy’ to work on lol…it is a necessary upgrade though!

Oh and my brother in law, is on the case for making me a subwoofer box to match that of below, which will be trimmed in suede also

The 360CS - the best Ferrari of the lot, hands down 😁 😎

I'm shocked you're not making your own carbon interior! 😇

I will probably be banned for this question but can spacers be added or would that take the CS authenticity away?

I would be like this all day at home with that on the driveway

Spacers 😅😇

You could add spacers to anything if you wanted to. I know what you mean, but that's the period look how it sits now.

I know putting Rays TE037 is popular on the 360, or even a G25. Either fantastic in bronze on a red car. Slightly different offset will have them a bit further out if desired. But then it's stepping away from the CS.

This car isn't an original CS anyway, but a very good recreation.

Each to their own and all that.

It’s getting spacers lol I think it needs it and among the Ferrari forums, it’s far more acceptable to tinker than most people would think.

Rays TE037 though….behave yourself 🤭

I got myself a new snow foam lance and was busting to try it out…

Race, play, play, work….in order 😂

Had a good spin down to cars and coffee at PMG earlier this morning with my mate in his Mclaren 570GT

We stuck his Insta360 camera on my car and did a run out the road with it. The mic was probably not placed correctly as it picked up a bit of wind hanging off the rear bumper so next time in the engine bay, but it worked well enough to hear it scream a little

Mark, I got the snow foam out yesterday, washed the fez, dried it off and went for a drive. Then I parked it, went to bed, got up, look at it this morning….and went for another drive.

What am I getting at?….Not a spanner in sight! I love it.

I can’t be ar*sed with racing anymore, or westfields. I dunno…..the novelty might pass but I can’t see it. I just love listening to the Italian orchestra.

The red yoke is being collected Wednesday. Can’t wait to have some garage space 😂😂
Made enough noise round Newcastle today anyway😂

I wanted to go to Villa Vinci but wanted to park right outside - did a few laps before getting bored of waiting, got fed up and went home 🤣🤣. You weren’t the one in the car where the fella shouted “keep er lit” out the window? Lol
