Scuderia Front Bumper - Paid $13,000 and it looks fake. Can anyone confirm?

Not sure about the authenticity, but here's one on eBay for $3500 Ferrari F430 Front Bumper Scuderia with Grills and Diffuser New P N 80628110 | eBay

 

It sure looks rough but I've seen photos before of some very rough finishing on Scuds, the basis being that on the regular cars much more is covered up than on the lightweight versions.

I don't like the way the parts sticker number is lifting off. They're generally pretty well stuck down in my experience. One couldn't condemn the part on that basis though!

Your source of supply is probably the greatest clue as to it's authenticity.

 

The ebay item is a reproduction.

 

OUCH!

Even I am feeling the pain.

 

Omg I hope you used Paypal !!!

 

It looks just about how the inside of my bumper looks. They are not going to spend a moment trying to clean up an area that no one will ever see.

 

Agreed, they (the factory) usually are not overly concerned on how something looks that no one will see.

Ferrari body parts are known for poor finish and requiring quite a bit of work to get proper fitment. The poor appearance might even be an indication that you got something legit, since a reproduction would probably have a cleaner look to it.

 

^^^ This.

Looks real to me...

Is $13k for a scud front bumper not a bit much? They're equivalent of just over $6000 brand new in the UK.

Ridiculously high priced. Check

Poor quality appearance. Check.

You just confirmed genuine Ferrari.

 

It would be cheaper to sell F430 and buy a real Scud instead.

 

LOL. Ain't that the truth.

 

Looks legitimate to me.

Ferrari body work, in its raw form, almost always looks horrible.

 

It looks identical to my 2009 Scuderia bumper (which I have taken off the car twice).

The quality on the OEM Fiberglass is mediocre, and both front and rear bumpers are made of fiberglass, whether 360 458 or F430.

Nothing that sand paper, and a good body shop cannot get fixed.

 

I would have sold my painted and 3M covered front Scuderia bumper for a lot cheaper, as I want to install an aftermarket unit (for track use).

 

Yeah, I had a full bumper front, rear and skirts made out of pure carbon without the heavy crap-arse core and the interior finish is way better than oem. Light as hell. Just pray I don't crash into anything.

 

A non Ferrari aftermarket part would be finished better.

 

Ferrari QC sux where you can't see it, not surprised this is a real part

 

and dumping it

This was my first thought as well. LOL, sad but true.
