    Hi,
    Anybody a first owner 355 and has the original carbon bucket seats.
    Has the cavallinos on the headrest been optional? Or have they been standard?
    If a seat is exactly same but without the cavallino has it been reupholstered i guess?
    Any special feature you can identify an original seat?
    Happy about any hint...
    Thanks in advance :)!

    I’ve seen both with and without. I think it depended on the year made and market.

    Robb thanks a lot... if anybody could verify that would be great!
    I once asked an upholsterer about embossing the cavallino on the upholstered seat but he told me it’s impossible without the correct tool which is in possession of Ferrari even at the seat company so they need to give it back once they don’t have a contract anymore.
    Anyone redid that „outcoming“ 3d Cavallino on his seat as aftertreatment? I guess it needs to be something like a Vacuum tool which pulls the leather into the form? Probably it will not be possible with all leathers...
    I’m not an expert on this so appreciating any hints :)
    Thanks and have a nice day everybody!

    I think at least someone in this forum should then have this version of the seats without cavallino in his car...
    Some pictures from characteristic views might help me a lot :)

    In the first pic that interior has been redone. The leather isn't original so maybe it could have had the cavalinno embossed originally.

    agree, most of the decent trimmers in the UK have the boss to create the embossed Cavallino
