    I am trying to help a friend complete the accident damage repair to his 246 GT. One of the remaining items is a replacement for the left rear marker light bezel which was destroyed in the accident.

    He did get a new one, but it is made differently and is a very poor fit on the car. The new one has a very thin flange and is perfectly straight vertically and horizontally. The picture shows his original right side bezel. The flange is thicker which allows for a curve to match the body work.

    Would anyone have the correct piece, new or used, or know a source that can supply the correct part? The owner told me is checking with Re-Originals and Dino Parts.

    Thank you.

    Look at a US spec Alfa Romeo Spider. I believe they used the exact same lights as the Dino for the marker lights.

    Nuvolari: Thanks for that tip. I do know a couple of Spider owners whose cars I could look at. It will also give me another direction for on line searching.

    Shawn: I do not have the serial number available. The car is a 246 GT that the owner has had for many years. At the time of the accident, it was his daily driver, in fact, it was his only car. He was hit hard in the rear. There is a thread with pictures in the Hawaii section of this forum. It is titled "I bet your day wasn't this bad". It is likely back a page or two. The body work was done on another island. It will be back on this island before long and I can check the serial number.

    Thanks and Aloha

    I just looked at the "I'll bet your day wasn't this bad" link and the Dino looks spectacular now in that rich deep brown color.

    It is also interesting to note that your first post here in the Dino section about looking for a marker light bezel was exactly one year AFTER your last post in the "I'll bet your day wasn't this bad" thread.

    I hope that you and the owner will decide to start a separate thread in the Dino section about it and the other Dinos in Hawaii.

    Finally, I saw that a blue Dino was mentioned in your Hawaii thread and I believe that was Gregg Blue’s 206, which he traded to Canepa Design and purchased a black 1964 AC Cobra CRX 2521. Here's a link to Gregg Blue's thread about trading in his 206: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/206-246/283518-206-gt-traded.html?highlight=Hawaii

    Hi Dinogts

    "Brown Dino" does not SOUND attractive, but I do think the car looks very good in that color. It is original.

    The repair was done very well, but it has been a long process. Check the date of the first post....;>)

    The blue car mentioned in the thread is a very nice 246GTS that is on this island (Oahu).

    Hi 4CamGT

    Wow! That is an amazing and generous offer. I would like very much to get the parts. I will solve the problem on this car and pass the other pieces on to someone in need in the future.

    I will send a PM.

    Thank you and Aloha

    I wanted to express my and the Dino owner's appreciation for the very generous contribution Freeman/4CamGt has made to resolving the marker light problem.

    Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa
