-Silverstone grey with Yellow stripes.
-All OEM CF parts front lamps,front lower diff,rear diff (normal options in 16M's) had to be purchased.
-I made the center lock conversion ,had several issues before this mod work perfect .I had to make special tools to align ABS sensors and bearings,custom center lock Ferrari crests, the suspension had to be modified with special longer hi resistance pins to offset the wheels farder since the ET,s of these wheels are not as aggressive as I wanted,custom made the wheel caps to receive Ferrari crests,custom brake disc hat angles to receive the new challenge hubs.
A lot of test and tears and then again but after 30 days aprox the car worked perfect ,I tested in highway and track and no problems,at the beginning when we finished installing all components the dash was like a xmas tree !!!! So we need to check every part and recalibrate, align with the special tools that we had to do in a racing car shop ,we did interchange parts from the scud and the challenge and vice versa,scan the car.
Now I know how to do the process but it wasn't easy the first time..
It has Roberuta front lift and KS exh etc. Now it is a unique scud,I don't think there is another one.
Thanks for your comments....

Followed your trials and tribulations on FChat, glad to see it all got worked out. Thumbs up for willing to truly mod your car and try things that haven't been done before. Congrats and welcome to TS.

Thanks,in terms of weight The car lost 14kg with the new hubs,nuts,wheels and Pirelli Trofeo nothing really important but the center lock look is unique and that was the purpose of this mod nothing else.
All parts are OEM so the car has something special,it is hard to choose correct looking wheels in a Scud so after some time and lots of researches I made this mod and after many tests it worked perfect.
