    The rear grille on my 355 is looking a bit sorry, with the paint beginning to lift off and discolour. I would like to remove and respray it, and wondered if anyone here could tell me how to remove it?

    I am talking about the thinner matt-black mesh-type grille with F355GTS badge stuck on, as opposed to the larger painted section with the rear lights in.

    Many thanks

    Robert.

    IIRC it's rivetted on at the ends and middle. BUT this is from memory and I've never paid really close attention :)

    I got my supplying dealer to repaint mine when it went rusty after a few months.

    Thanks guys,

    I've had a look (thanks Tay for the pics too); it looks like I'll have to drill the rivets out, remove the grille, repaint and re-rivet.

    Something to do on the long winter evenings...

    Robert.
