That is how they look ..... I think it’s not quite level but sadly they do miss some wheel to arch ratio
you can see in this picture the stripes on the front carbon. This was a factory order option only. I.e you have to be at the factory to order the car, antilier they call it iirc. So it was ordered in person in Italy where you are given further options than the dealers get. Anyhow, god knows how much it cost but it’s litrally just pinstripe stickers ... they won’t stay

The suspension is coil overs as standard so you can lower or rise it if you wish just have a specialist or Ferrari do it so they can make sure alignment stays within spec.
Bet you cannot wait for tomorrow and perfect weather too for it being taking mine for random drives this week enjoying the weather.
That cant be how it was when new surely? Maybe someone raised the front so they didn't scrape on things?
Either way, I can't exactly smack talk a 458.
Likely angle of photo, they have some arch gap but nothing extreme and they can be adjusted/setup to an owners preference. 458's rarely scrape and is why lift is not an essential option on them.
I think the photo angle and possible the fact it’s been in the air recently etc... it’s not to bad. This car doesn’t have a lift . I would have liked it but not exactly needed also I wasn’t willing to pay any extra for it
I feel nervous haha

The angle of the photo won’t help, but yeah there is a bit of arch gap. Huracan has even more arch gap.

I think black wheels help with that. They are not the prettiest design Ferarri have ever done.
I think out of all the modern supercars they all have some that photos show up, but having seen several in flesh Huracan's 458's in person is something I have never noticed in person or worried about and not sure on Huracan but 458's are adjustable I was tempted to drop mine 5-10mm but have changed my mind. Also something else I noticed from seeing photos of my car in motion when it is being driven the suspension sits noticeably lower which much be my lard ass in the seat, I've never looked at a supercar and thought I want to lower it. Out of all the super cars if stance is your objective then buy a 991.1/2 GT3 as they have it bang on out factory.
She arrived earlier. Beautiful
Took it out for a few miles, what a buzz something i never realized or noticed in the test drive is just how well it handles. The car is very compliant and gives you a confidence I have never felt before inc my old R8 V10 Plus. Its just next level.
It dont think its as quick as my old R8 in terms of speed, but the power band is very constant i feel.
Chuffed.
Only negative is i noticed a small amount of corrosion
where the side skirt meets the rear quarter. The dealer will be sorting it for me when it goes back to have the crinkle re done but a bit of a shame. I hope the job is spot on.

Pics!
A very different league but that is what I like about my truck - it has a nice broad band where the power delivery is constant and it makes it so much more satisfying to drive even when the overall performance might not be that amazing compared to some other vehicles heh.

I don't feel so bad about my rusty mgb and mini now
I could do with a Ferrari in my life
I recall reading on here a while ago that your financial situation significantly improved when you started running your own business? I think I need to do this.I don't feel so bad about my rusty mgb and mini now

I did start it in 2013... so its been a hard slog. Back then i rented a house and had 13 k to my name
. I have been very fortunate i must say, nothing was given to me, we didn't have anything growing up etc etc we were a poor family. Left school as a drop out. Found it hard to get pictures that dont make it look pink
taken with my iphone so...

I see what you mean about neighbours being able to see it. They won't be able to miss it! Pretty poor quality there with the rust, how old is the car?
Regarding the business is it something you were actively looking to do or was it an opportunity you couldn't turn down? Appreciate you might not want to go into details which is fair enough.
Actually I can hide it , the house overhands the garage enough and the mrs s max in the spot i took the pics will hide it completely . The new garage door is about 4 weeks away and then she will be hidden. I may measure it tomorrow just to see if it can squeeze in but its unlikely.
With regards to business. I had worked very hard to become a GM in a big company at the ripe age of 25... After 4 years the stress was affecting my health, chest pain, racing heart etc. So i had some time of, re evaluated and got a job less senior elsewhere. A few months in i had long thoughts and just went on my own. I buy and sell plant for a living, diggers etc. At the time i had nothing but sold on commission only so sold anybody else stuff which pushed me enough to be able to get a very small council premises in 2014 bought 1 digger, etc etc etc, now have 3 employees plus myself, 25000 sq ft premisesand a nice enough life
Thanks for sharing. How did you get the idea for it? I'm sure there are going to be some post-lockdown opportunities out there.
