Frank, That small, useless mirror is the Vitaloni Californian. I could only imagine what the view would be if I had a passenger's side mirror mounted. Seriously, the passenger side mirror was a dealer-installed option. Contact Ferrari UK (a sponsor of this site) for the mirror you need. Barry | ||

No,on my car the badge and mirror are both on the drivers side only. Speaking of mirrors...(I know, we weren't.) But,I want to put a mirror on my passenger side. It did not come with one. I really hate to break up that beautiful line...but...if I don't I could end up breaking up the whole passenger side of my car.(at higher speeds,not much time to try to view through the side vents to change lanes!) My car doesn't have the small,"bullet-shaped" mirror,on the drivers side,but a "larger,"squared" one,like on 328's (mines an '81-308) What is the best way to get a duplicate put on my passenger side? I realize that there will be some drilling involved. | ||

Frank, My car sits level. I guess the passenger side badge and driver's side mirror weigh the same. Barry | ||

My 328 has it on the drivers side only... For anyone interested, this has been on eBay a pretty long time: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6769&item=2430454283 | ||

Alan, My car (S/N 19399) is a North American (U.S.) Version. The 1975 and 1976 GTBs had the badge on the passenger side. The badge went to the driver's side in 1977. Barry | ||

Ditto, DJ. My '77 308GTB is also Driver's side only. I once blamed a body shop for losing the RH side, but JRV straightened me out. Dr. Wolinsky's car is a euro model, I think. | ||

That explains why my car leans a little bit to the left. (grin!) | ||

Andreas- You should have cut the pins off, and just used emblem tape. It would have held fine. | ||

Dontcha love asymmetry? The original '80's TR had only one massive ear on the driver's side - what a hoot! | ||

I have seen one 328 in real life and read the Forza buyers guide about the 328 and I'm quite sure, that in both cases I saw the badge on the passenger side as well. The only problem with symmetrical badging is, that the exact badge for my 308 QV wasn't avail, or at least I couldn't find it. So I got something very close from these guys: http://www.international-auto.com/pdf_files/IAP65.pdf Since you can't see the two badges next to each other, it doesn't really matter. But if you were really nuts about it, I guess you'd have to get two of these after market badges. BTW: The badge had two pins, so I had to drill two small holes. To be on the safe side I also added double sided tape. I guess one could get away without drilling the holes, but I'm an eternal pessimist. | ||

It came from the factory with Pininfarina logo/script on both sides of my: 82 Mondial 81 Fiat Spider All three of my Alfa 164's IMHO, it is no crime to add one if you like. Not like you are putting a GTO badge on it or something. | ||

The 76-79 308 carb cars have the badges on the passenger sides, 80-85 FI cars on the drivers side. I think that the entire 328 run also had asymetrical badging on the drivers side. The 348 series and newer cars are symetrical on both sides. I always wanted to add a second one on my 85, but was worried it would be frowned upon by my Ferrari brothers. So what do you guys think? I'm with Andreas... bugs the heck out of me. I want symetrical badging ; ) | ||

Because when these cars are raced they are usually photographed from the drivers side, leaving off the extra emblem saves weight. | ||

Not totally sure on this, but I believe starting with the 328 series they put it on both sides. It was something that annoyed the heck out of me, so I got an additional one to 'balance' my 308. | ||
