Ferrari 288GTO (Improved and Customized)
HEre is my second 288GTO. My Red one..

Some improvements have been made like the A and B Pillars painted black and the interiors redone. Also painted the distinctive stripe in the groove down the waist of the car. Also Swapped the wheels with the F40 ones and painted them, BUT I am not happy with the back ones as they are too big for the car. Will swap them out with a set of front wheels from the F40 for the back too.

Also, redid the whole interior in black. Looks MUCH MUCH better now..

And this one also has the Tremonia Brakes kit and is gonna get the Seatbelt kit soon when I don't feel lazy Tongue


Smile

Enjoy the quick pics.

Looks cool mate! The wheels at the back bulge out a lot, but they aren't lookin bad from the angles you posted.

Your striping needs more black paint to look cleaner, its still showing red in some places.

Cyrus you custom projects are really cool and I love the outcomes but somehow the paint finish of most of your custom cars seems to be missing something. For an instance the paint finish on the bonnet of this Ferrari is so dull.

Good job Cyrus. Those wheels look fat from the rear but no so much otherwise.

I actually kind of like how the rear wheels look right now.Look like they've got a fair bit of negative camber too.Very 'hellaflush'.

^ I was looking at exactly that look when I did the swap. Also, The BIG offset wheel at the back as above is the perfect period look for 80's cars as well.
