You can call Veneno is a Aventador with a bodykit, as not much technical differences between them. However, the gap between LF and 458 on both technology and design is the Grand Canyon size.
You may call LF uses some design elements from 458, but, ABSOLUTELY, not a body kit.

On day one of the 83rd annual Geneva Auto Show, I spoke with McLaren design chief Frank Stephenson on his new P1 supercar. An hour later, I ran into him at Ferrari’s busy booth where he and P1 program chief engineer Paul Mackenzie were taking a close look at the LaFerrari flagship.
Motor Trend: What are your first impressions?
Frank Stephenson: I think it’s pretty good actually. I heard all kinds of rumors and likes and dislikes…and these cars should be like that anyways. But I think it’s very nice. They’ve made a Ferrari out of it, which is good. Definitely moving on from the Enzo. This looks like a real Ferrari! I do like it…beautiful sculpture…

MT: How did you get in here?
FS: [Laughs] I walked in! I used to work here!
MT: Yeah, but how did you get [Paul McKenzie] in here?
FS: I asked Luca!
Interestingly enough, later that night, I was chatting with Robert Cumberford, Automobile magazine’s automotive design editor, about the cars we had seen at the show and he echoed Stephenson’s thoughts on the Ferrari – including his dislike of the character line on the flank. Great designers do
