Hi guys. Anyone bought the after market Italian thin flag for above the word Ferrari on rear glass ? Assume it just sticks on ? Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
It does, simply sticks on. Have had dealer adding on one of my cars, literally 2 mins job, he measured up with a business card and didn't a pretty good job at it. Also bought one from Ricambi, can't really tell the difference vs the official one...Last saw it on the special items list for F8 at $1181
I installed one on my former 360 Spider. When I traded for a 458 Spider I removed it using fishing line to separate the tape backing. Cleaned the residue from the 360 as well as the back of the flag. Then reinstalled a thin layer of 3M Automotive tape on the emblem and reinstalled it on the 458. Voila! It took all of 20 minutes to transfer the flag.
Here is the flag and F1 buttons I just got from Ricambi. You can see its 3m Tape. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Awesome. I was thinking about getting the f1 buttons too. Are you going to install them yourself ? Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Thank you. I have emailed that company to Ask cost to uk. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I bought them as well and was recommended to have the dealer do the install as it's a bit complicated since you have to take apart the F1 buttons stalk. It took them about an hour to do it.
I'm not 100% sure yet. If my car ever gets here I'll assess the situation. I was planning on installing myself after seeing the instruction manual which doesn't look difficult at all but i saw a video of someone changing out the F1 from metal to carbon and the backing where the buttons need to come out looks maybe a bit more complicated that i originally thought. Thing is, this is about a 10 minute install and aggravates me to think what they'll charge to do this lol. I'm attaching the PDF for installation if anyone wants to see Thanks
Awesome! I’m ordering the F1 buttons ASAP ! What’s the link for the buttons? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Here is the link for the buttons. If your an FCA member they give 20% off entire order also https://myricambi.com/products/458-series/458-spider/458-spider-interior-carbon-fiber-parts/italian-f1-caps-cover-replacements-detail Not sure if you guys ever seen this paddles on Sforza but they look pretty sick Image Unavailable, Please Login
I had my other cars in for service so I paid a combined total but it was charged for 1 hour labor. I wanna say their hourly rate was prob around $200, but I'm guessing.
Those paddles would be perfect combo with the tricolore buttons. How much are those paddles? I cant seem to find out on their website.
Here is the link. I think these and those buttons would add a nice touch. https://www.sforza.tech/en/product/ferrari-458-carbon-gearbox-control-levers-shift-paddles/ Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ferrari Edinburgh quoted £444 to fit the three buttons Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
What is the approximate distance/gap from the bottom of the bar to the top of the Ferrari logo when installed by the factory? Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
They leave the same distance as the width of the badge. Too close/far just looks wrong to my OCD eyes. Take a look at my factory fit flag ........ ..... just please forgive their crazy upside down error. I could not, so promptly p/x'ed the car for a new Spider Image Unavailable, Please Login
