Fibreglass essentially. So unlike most thermoplastic bumpers, they are as repairable as a boat.
The rear bumper is GRP so repair should be lasting if done well. I would be more concerned it has been hit, or looking at the slight paint...
This is a funny read, as I had a very similar experience recently with my 458 Italia. I changed the plugs. All went well in the end, but I had...
It’s fine as background filler. The engine dominates and when you’re getting a march on the car is so good you are perfectly happy with the stereo...
458. Sorry I thought I tagged the post.
When I leave the car running on idle for some time the car makes a slurp followed by a mechanical clunk. It sounds similar to when the exhaust...
Conscientious of them to spot it and decent of them to admit it and set the wheels in motion to correct it. I understand it is uncomfortable to...
Depends what the factory build spec was. If it’s had black wheels and red calipers from new, I’d be inclined to leave them alone. It’s an eye...
I like the carbon mirrors. Here’s a gratuitous pic of my Italia with them fitted. [ATTACH]
Could well be a pre-production prototype, and that could well be a great USP for the car. There are some PPP cars that are considered very...
I am fairly sure that all are dealer fitted accessories. If specified from new the dealer orders them in and fits as part of the PDI, or owners...
My car has had this port replaced in its history, so failure of the port itself is possible.
You probably tried this, but pulling a seat belt to the fully extended position, so the belt is off its roller and then allowing it to reel back...
Indeed. The diffuser bolts to and hangs from it. If the diffuser is knocked, it’s the first place to give on the surround. I did think about...
I’ve replaced one. It’s a bit of a mission, as you need to pull the bumper away from the car to get to all of the fixings. Certainly the weak...
Here in the UK many of our roads are in a terrible condition. I find the 458 very compliant. Bumpy road is a useful feature, as it backs the...
Any sign on the old one why it failed?
Mine is under the glovebox
Would upgrading to the Athermic windscreen option help I wonder?
Did you let it sit with ign on for a bit before fire? If you jump the gun they can get quite upset. The fact it started means the battery is...
