Challenge Stradale Side Mirrors

Would like to change side mirrors on 360 for aftermarket Challenge type mirrors. Any suggestions on who has a good quality mirror very close to OEM? Has anyone tried to motorize the mirrors using internal parts from original mirrors?

 

I think you would no be able to do that ,i have after market CF side mirror and they dont close like the original ,they are a little more smaller ,the originals are much nicer the problem is the $9000 grands that cost each one

 

The biggest difference is that the aftermarket ones do not fold like the real CS mirrors do. It has been mentioned on here that the 360GTC mirrors do not fold so I have been trying to talk myself into some of the non folding ones for a while too.

 

Do I need to start making them?

 

Yes please!

 

with sugar on top.

 

Anybody have a set to copy? Or a digitized scan so I can do a take-off? I have digitized 458 but not 360CS.

 

Yes, that would be welcome. There are some companies that make the 430 style but non that make the 360 version which should be simpler.

 

pleeeeaaaaassssseeeee make them

 

i bet you are going to sell like 200 pairs of them maybe more , i would be one customer

 

Same here, I'm thinking "group buy"

 

Ok I'll get on it after Christmas. I could do with a set to look at anybody got a set of have high res pictures for starters.

 

This is all I have on hand.

The ones on the black car do not look right. Not sure about the first pic either.

$9K doesn't go as far as it used to!

 

I have OEM 430 CF mirrors on my 360. I am very happy with the look and operation.

 

Pictures please.

 

So how many types are fitted OEM on 360CS? I see few different types around the place.

They look the same shape as a base model 360 but in carbon?

 

I am not certain but...
I think both the stems and the main housing are a bit different than stock 360. The stem looks a bit more aerodynamic on the CS ones and I think they stick out a bit further too. The housings on the stock 360 have a more organic shape to my eye but maybe it's the weave playing tricks on me?

 

A more thorough review shows the differences.
The stock mirrors are quite a bit different. The CS mirrors have a flat-ish outboard edge that allows them to rest on the ground different so available photos between the two are tough to get exact but you can see a lot of differences in these images.

In my mind it makes sense to blend the two designs so that you have the stem configuration of the CS version and the housing shape of the standard 360, which is a much more sexy shape. The upside to this is that internal controls and temp sensors, etc could be more afford-ably sourced. But the downside is that the more you deviate from stock either way the less you can charge for them IMO.

I am a potential buyer if they look fabulous and I can save weight with all the functionality of a stock part. No fiberglass with a carbon wrap on it, we have R-Tuned for that non-sense already. Then there is of course the price. I guess that can wait for a further discussion but I do know where my own price pressures start to creep in.

 

A few options are available in build stage one is find a reasonably priced mirror to gut it to use the motor components to save the cost of using genuine Ferrari parts. Shape is easy enough to reproduce.
It would make good sense to use parts off the shelf and build a carbon body that looks the part.

I’ll make a plug over Christmas and see how it looks on the car.

 

why dont you tray to builded manual in my opinion manual is good for me ,i am looking for the way ot looks
