How many of you have the original dealership logo sticker on the rear window?

It looks very strange as then you should have a deduction for the original radio too, as the car leaved the factory without any radio: The radio was installed by the dealer together with his sticker. I think that having the OEM radio and sticker should be a plus, but it cannot be a minus!

Just saw this... I think SVM.

 

Here is a picture of my car at the 2015 Cavallino with the dealer badge next to the license plate. My car has been at Cavallino the last six years and it seems every other year I receive a half point deduction depending on the judge(s). I had the badge removed for the 2017 Cavallino event.

A rule is a rule, but I wouldn't remove the original OEM sticker from the car.

If there's a spare I would be interested!

Original, really?

Original means from Maranello, not the dealer.

 

The stickers are not original. They were not applied in the factory. As for radios that was a specific decision on the part of the rules board. The idea is the cars should be used and enjoyed and lack of radio prevents that for many. Any radio that does not detract from the car is OK.

Dealers have been known to perform all manner of modifications on new cars. Different wheels, elaborate sound systems, even custom interiors or sun roofs. Where do you propose to draw the line?

 

The times it was not deducted for was simply a mistake.

There is potentially a way around it though. You should be asked at the start if there is anything out of the ordinary about the car the judges should know. Since preservation is very important to us if you explain the sticker is from new and you are interested in preserving the car exactly as new they will probably let it go. We have a TR with a small American flag sticker in the windshield that I applied just before a club drive just a few days after 9-1-1. I told them it had sentimental value and I intended to leave it. They told me it would not be deducted for. The car won a Platinum, the Coppa Bella Macchina and the National Preservation Award that day.

 

Well explained. Thank you

 

I completely disagree. You don't buy the car from the factory, you buy from the dealership and so everything that comes from the dealership is original. The sunroof and others aren't a factory option: They are a mod. In any case I don't have to attend any FCA concourse so it doesn't matter, but in my opinion is a total absurdity.

It is not just FCA and pretty much the entire world disagrees with you. Have never heard of any recognized rules body defining original as what the dealer decided to do prior to delivery. That is everyone else's definition of absurd.

 

Does anyone on the off chance, have the dealership sticker for Melbourne Garage Car Sales Ltd, Jersey, Channel Islands?

Would love to make a repro.

Thanks.

Thanks. Appreciate the input.

I was fortunate the dealer badge was secured by adhesive tape which did not damage the paint or body as screws would have.

 

Cheers!

 

Thank you very much: But I will keep the dealership sticker on the car and the OEM radio too, as I'm very proud of both.
