F8 F8 Italian flag above Ferrari badge on rear glass.

Hi guys. Anyone bought the after market Italian thin flag for above the word Ferrari on rear glass ? Assume it just sticks on ?

It does, simply sticks on. Have had dealer adding on one of my cars, literally 2 mins job, he measured up with a business card and didn't a pretty good job at it.
Also bought one from Ricambi, can't really tell the difference vs the official one...Last saw it on the special items list for F8 at $1181

 

I installed one on my former 360 Spider. When I traded for a 458 Spider I removed it using fishing line to separate the tape backing. Cleaned the residue from the 360 as well as the back of the flag. Then reinstalled a thin layer of 3M Automotive tape on the emblem and reinstalled it on the 458. Voila! It took all of 20 minutes to transfer the flag.

 

If the Ferrari script is on straight you can use a pencil to help line it up.

 

Just got mine today from Ricambi. Just 3M tape on the back.

 

Here is the flag and F1 buttons I just got from Ricambi. You can see its 3m Tape.

Awesome. I was thinking about getting the f1 buttons too. Are you going to install them yourself ?

Can we see these installed thanks.

 

I bought them as well and was recommended to have the dealer do the install as it's a bit complicated since you have to take apart the F1 buttons stalk. It took them about an hour to do it.

 

I'm not 100% sure yet. If my car ever gets here I'll assess the situation. I was planning on installing myself after seeing the instruction manual which doesn't look difficult at all but i saw a video of someone changing out the F1 from metal to carbon and the backing where the buttons need to come out looks maybe a bit more complicated that i originally thought. Thing is, this is about a 10 minute install and aggravates me to think what they'll charge to do this lol. I'm attaching the PDF for installation if anyone wants to see



Thanks

 

Awesome!
I’m ordering the F1 buttons ASAP !

I had my other cars in for service so I paid a combined total but it was charged for 1 hour labor. I wanna say their hourly rate was prob around $200, but I'm guessing.

 

Those paddles would be perfect combo with the tricolore buttons.

How much are those paddles? I cant seem to find out on their website.

 

Beautiful-what’s the part numbers fir both?..and let’s see pics of yours installed ,thanks

 

Here is the link. I think these and those buttons would add a nice touch.

Ferrari Edinburgh quoted £444 to fit the three buttons

What is the approximate distance/gap from the bottom of the bar to the top of the Ferrari logo when installed by the factory?

They leave the same distance as the width of the badge. Too close/far just looks wrong to my OCD eyes.

Take a look at my factory fit flag ........


..... just please forgive their crazy upside down error. I could not, so promptly p/x'ed the car for a new Spider
