355 scuderia fender shields

I'm sure somebody will say "Daniel, that looks like ass!" Nonetheless, on my car, I did the following:

** 2 cm from the top of the pointy top of the shield to the "crease" on the front fender

** 9 cm from the edge of the fender to the outermost edge of the shield.

I had my shields placed by the dealer on my 97 355. You may want my measurements because taking from the factory the pressed indention might through your measurements off. Also, what is the measurements top-bottom and side to side of your shield to make sure the size matches mine.

Greg,

Your shield is exactly the same size as the one of the OEM shield. It is 110mm X 80mm. You can also go to our website www.yomagic.com to get the measurements for the placement.

 

If ya that botherd about copying the factory placement then get ya wings reworked for crying out loud
Heres my metal wing badges, maybe there 2mm of the exact factory position. I just threw them baby at the wing and they stuck LOL!!

Question for anyone, did 95' 355's have the option for the real scuderia shields from the factory? (you know, the ones set in the indent made from the factory)

 

I think only the 1999 Fiorano had them.

 

no

 

I understand that someone makes carbon fenders with the indention already on them (does anyone know who??). I would not mind buying a set so I can always go back to stock .

 

Here's mine:

Hey chaa nice calipers! Where did you get the brembo logo??

 

Walk in the park mate. I flattended of the original raised lines of the standard caliper. Then bought a red caliper paint kit and adde a little black to darken the colour. When they dryed the next day i put on the badges that i bought from ebay and lacquer over them. Jobs a good un with out any problems in the two years that i did them f cuk paying some bloke £500 for a exchange set. WTFs that about

 

Baaaaadaaaaaass!!! I will do a net search for the paint kit, thanks!!

 

Dude i strive to be as bad ass as our man Pap....Psst! i know ya was talkin about the ride though

Optional only on the 1998 and 1999 F355's. Standard on the 1999 Series Fiorano F355.

 

That's what I heard too. Factory began them as an option in '98. Nothing before that was factory installed (unless your a vintage race car...)

 

Just a side note on Dave's post on the '98-'99 fender(wing for our Brit friends)it will fit on 348s and earlier 355s mounting pionts must be the same. If anyone wants the indent fenders to retro fit the badges to earlier cars. regards, vern

 

Why does your car look so low to the ground? The front looks like it is rubbing on the ground.

 

Clearly because its parked on a steep drive and the front wheel is on a sunken man hole cover.

 

I believe it is a bit off the bottom point of the shield should be pointing directly into the middle of the side marker.
