Ferrari 296 GTS

This 296 GTS is the latest two door mid engined supercar from Ferrari delivering a heart racing 820 brake horse power via a combination of both a V6 engine and hybrid motor / battery setup.

Specification decided via the super special Atelier individual car programme and finished in Violia Hong Kong purple with contrasting dream line in yellow and complemented by lashings of carbon fibre this really is a beautiful machine but don’t be fooled she’s not just a pretty face!!

Delivered to us brand new via Graypaul Nottingham our tasks were to initially perfect and then protect every element of this stunning machine.

Where it all begins with a thorough safe wash to remove any trace of dirt from transportation and delivery
Snow foam working its magic followed by a good rinse and luxury shampoo
Inspection time and there's lots to do!! Individual paint specifications like this often have lots of defects from the final finishing stages
Intense sanding marks
combination of sanding marks and buffer trails
severe sanding marks
opposite sides of the cars lower rear bumper with very similar issues
curves and angles more often than not carry these kinds of issues due to awkward angles from a sculptured body
genuinely this confused even me!!
buffer trails in the carbon
cleaned / dried and tools at the ready to make her perfect
Good access to all areas allows us to safely work anywhere we need to
Positioned on our flush fit ramp with all four wheels removed for most of the process
once happy with the now perfected paint we can install our "ppf" or paint protection film, patterns are edited first on the computer then plotter cut for accuracy and pinpoint precision
the overhanging area was added at the pattern creation stage and allows an edgeless installation once heated and tucked under the panel
carbon fibre areas covered which is super important with functional aerodynamics and in such a prone area
section by section no matter how intricate
you might never see it again but knowing its there is nice a feeling
once polished and the whole car covered with protection film we then complete a final prep and finish with our ceramic coatings on the body (including carbon areas) the wheels (barrels and faces) and callipers glass is cleaned inside and out and coated on the outside
inside we clean and protect all finishes including leather and Alcantara
