I just called my closest Ferrari dealer and enquired about a CH grill for my 355. Cost was AU $2837 or US $2461. Stick with Ricambi folks!
Just called my guys, Manager thinks they are ether no longer available or VERY hard to come by. Couldn't give me an idea on price till he finds one.........
Sheesh, that is around US $2090. Better off than I, but still cant compare with Daniel's price at Ricambi.
Man, with a yellow 355 the ch grille is a MUST HAVE just for looks, not to mention engine cooling. You seem like a guy who drives fast, so wouldn't you want an extra meter of real estate for the hot engine bay air to escape? I noticed an immediate reduction in both oil and coolant temps on the gauges, so imagine what it is doing for the bay. We all know Ferrari didn't over-engineer the details on these cars, so any added protection for the hoses, mounts, $hitty plastic clamps/fasteners etc. is a huge benefit. I bought mine from an F-chat member for $1300 USD, though he did have it just laying around unused. When you get your new grille (which is clearly inevitable) show us some pictures. Cheers from your bro in Cali!!
I agree bro, it probably is inevitable now, and the look factor is defiantly high on my list of reasons why i should get one. I don't drive fast, whatever gives you that impression........ LOL! So I'm thinking i might give our good friend Daniel a PM soon to check how much the freight on one of these bad boys....... Or i could use the cash for a trip over to Cali, never been to the states and would LOVE to go, esp this time of year, summer and all, although the beaches might become a distraction to my car spotting. Hey Cuneo, about that challenge grill on your AWESOME berlinetta, wanna sell it? Might be able to make a trip over to cali and bring one home as excess baggage
Was on my list of things to do this year, might still make it happen. Buying to many toys at the moment though
Thanks, yes it does! I will be picking up my new Larini exhaust and Tubi test pipes tomorrow at noon. I'll report on those soon!!
I think there is a pic of my CH grill in here somewhere.... Pis by Mike at Mid Atlantic Photography Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks. A buddy of mine is a new dealer for them after Tubi screwed him and took that away from him. He was the only importer for North America until early this year. Needless to say, he still has a great inventory of Tubis if anyone needs one. He is out of all 355 Tubis though.
That looks fantastic!!!!!! It will be fairly visible behind your new challenge grill too! Awesome. Looks like it will be loud, just what the doctor ordered.
