Modena Yellow Ferrari 550M Protection Detail

[Gally]

Thought i'd throw up a few poor inside pictures of this beautiful thing. Was being given some protection for a good friend of my boss' as he's off to Europe with it and I couldn't contain my offer to sort it for him. It was pretty tidy as it hasn't been used, just lacking some gloss and finish and importantly protection.

Bare essentials are Werkstat Prime via DA on a finishing pad and 3 coats of CarPro Reload afterwards. Glass sealed up with Gtechniq for the trip also and megs/CarPro perl on the tyres to finish.

Just some afters sadly....

Oh my god that is unbelievably amazing.
Great work and the car is stunning.

Never seen a yellow one and it makes it look so fresh!

 

[Knuckles]

Oh. My.

That look incredible

 

[PP200t]

Brilliant work! Car looks completely different in yellow too.
Is that a red escort cosworth I spot in the background?

 

[Djw John]

It is indeed. Get Stus thread up Kev. This is nice and all but its not a 22 year old Ford

 

[Gally]

Lols. Not sure how many would spot it. I'll probably put it up on Sunday night for folks.

 

[Rob]

Special. Looks so good in yellow, and looks like new!

 

[ColinG]

Stunning car, were they the original wheels??

Amazing work with the detail too, soo much depth and gloss!

 

[harry999]

excellent job you did there.

the 550 is one of those cars that shout ya in the face "i'm going to f***n 200mph" especially in yellow !

 

[Scrooge]

Amazing work but dude, sort your pictures out. More needed!!!!

 

[cat171]

That looks the nuts!!! Now push it out of the way so we can see the Escort Cos!

 

[Matt W]

I would love to blast around Europe in that.

 

[172_Tom]

Needs to be red, I'd still swap my left kidney for it though.

Same steering wheel in these as an Integra DC2/Accord Type R I think

 

[McGherkin]

Very special motor!

 

[AS_BO]

Awesome as usual Gally - gutted that Werkstat acrylic isn't available anymore as that is an amazing combo on lighter coloured cars. Have you found an alternative to the complete kit? Mint job too, classic Ferrari in my eyes. In 50 years it'll still look the mutts nuts.

 

[Ray Gin]

Far from my favourite Ferrari but it's still great....because Ferrari.

More pics of the whole car is needed though, not one front on pic there!

 

[adamlstr]

What wheels are they? Aftermarket?

That's properly gorgeous, I don't think I've ever seen a yellow one.

 

[Inequality Street]

Love it.

Strange as hell number plate though,

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks utterly superb that. Yellow is the correct colour!

 

[Gally]

Apologies for the pics again guys. It was raining so hard outside so you got shitty inside pics this time. The Cossie is the same sadly!

Wheels were given to the owner by Dario Franchitti, they modernise the car a lot over the standard ones. I think they're possibly just 575M wheels of some kind.

 

[Advikaz]

Great work!

Always liked these.

 

[Gally]

Great work!

Always liked these.

Thanks mate. It's been washed in Europe and had a text with a shocked face at the way all the crap fell off the car. Mighty impressed.
