    Greetings...today I fulfilled a lifelong dream and picked up my 2002 360 Spider...about 28k miles, more of a driver than a garage queen but so far so good, she’s in great shape and I had a great day driving her home. Grigio Titanio/Grey Leather Daytona seats, gated 6 speed,
    challenge grill, Tubi Exhaust. Have lurked in this forum for years and found it incredibly helpful in learning about these cars & my search. Some random newb questions I hope you can help me with:

    1) Where is a good place to buy Ferrari logo floor mats?
    2) The car has a battery disconnect in the trunk over on the top left side (if you are facing the car from the front), it’s a black plastic dial. Is this OEM or aftermarket? The car came with a battery tender...should I primarily use that or is the disconnect sufficient to protect the battery in between drives?
    3) Eventually the car will need new fabric for the top. It works perfectly and no cracks but there’;s some cosmetic wear in the fabric. Any good options for this?
    4) There’s a small round piece of black plastic (mine is cracked and has a small hole in it) just to the right of the ignition on the dashboard. What is this for? Or what was it for before it broke on my car?

    Here’s a few pics...and when I say it’s been a lifelong dream...I really really mean it ;)

    Congratulations.

    I've got to say you had way more style and taste than I did at that age...... I was probably playing in the dirt or throwing bricks at something!

    First off, massive congratulations and beautiful example!

    1: [email protected] Andrews’s mats aren’t cheap but the best around and customizable.

    2: The battery disconnect is oem. The battery tender should plug in somewhere in the cockpit. I plug my car in if it may sit for 4+ days.

    3: cant help ya, I’m ignorant on convertibles

    4: that’s the cabin temperature port. It’s a cheap piece that can be pry’d out easily and replaced. Not a big deal at all.

    congrats again!!

    Congrats!! I love the color combination. In my opinion it’s the best looking on a 360 especially since there are silver interior pieces. Have fun!
