au-yt 485 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I know there are more than one 430GT in Australia I need to ask Richard. As for the difference, here in Australia the 430 was 50% more than a 400, due to our Luxury car tax! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pits 4,408 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Can’t be many more than one then! @KG that bumper makes all the difference. Wow, what a sight that must be over there. Really love that colour, considered it myself having owned a nightfall blue Elise. I don’t think we have a GT430 in that colour over here. Not 100% sold on the red wing mirrors as they look solid red in the photo, the red cat scratches are metallic would prob go body colour there but you’ve done an incredible job no two ways about it. They said it couldn’t be done, but yeah I like them apples! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DBG 112 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Congrats mate, a lot of work done. Not a fan of the pin-striping on the bumper but each to their own. Graeme - pretty sure there are a couple here. Spotted this one at SSC a while ago: Edited January 11, 2020 by DBG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Pits 4,408 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 So, quick diffuser poll. Original plastic? Later aluminium? I have the early plastic style which looks arguably better integrated but later ally diffuser looks more aggressive, slightly more effective and possibly better for cooling. No known claims for downforce either way so purely an aesthetic choice. Interested to know your thoughts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM blindside 472 Posted January 17, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Jonny, the alloy diffuser is preferable IMHO both for looks & durability. (Although carbon would have been ideal to match/blend in with the rear end). Presumably this was ruled out by JMG on cost grounds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pits 4,408 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes think I slightly prefer the more sticky out ally one and have asked for a price while the car is in for its 2nd service. It will have to be a modest cost to tempt me but we will see. I was actually offered a carbon one by someone I know but like JMG also ruled that out on cost grounds! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Forest Power 138 Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Prefer the original plastic diffuser a lot. It is much better integrated and serves the stealthy darkness of the rear. The later aluminum diffuser makes the rear restless with fragile Elise plate works. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
