    The black insert fell off the Fan Direction Control knob on my 2015 Spider. I am looking for a replacement insert or knob. Can anyone advise who I could contact? Much appreciated.

    Many of my friends used these and they are happy with it.

    Just seeing this. I did order the knob but will contact you about the insert to repair my original knob. This the second knob to loose the insert so I might as well have a spare. Thanks

    I made my own. Went to the saddle shop & bought small piece of black leather that was the same satin black color as the black plastic ones, then bought a set of leather punches of various diameters (cheap), then some 3m double sided tape. Have had them on for about three yrs. No falling off, perfect match for the cheap Ferrari ones. No more sided prongs that break on their own.
    I used the tape idea for securing the air ck located R lateral key area. The plastic prongs broke@ Ferrari service. Found it laying on the mat. Ordered one from Ferrari. It was over $100.00 fofr a cheap plastic piece no bigger than a quarter. Used the double tape idea. Currently secured it in place approx. 4 yrs. Easy cheap fixes. I am OCD when it comes to my cars, but occasionally there are cheap no altering alternatives,

    Ours also eliminate the little tabs on the back, removing that fail point.

    Do so when you're ready. I'll post a picture of mine when ready. Tell you the truth can't tell the leather from the original. I was angry when mine fell off after just touching them. Then when I saw how utterly cheap and flimsy the originals were I thought it through and used the leather punches which I had purchased previously to make new leather straps for the leather slurry straps in the bonnet.

    Help!
    I'm looking for a pig tail wiring harness for a 458 drivers side headlight?
    I think either side would work
    Car was in an accident and the electrical plug that goes into the back of the headlight is gone.
