Ferrari correct compomotive center caps

I called HRE and got metal centers for mine, and Did not put horses on them. I would think Compomotive centers could be found used. That way you could leave them satin, or take the horse out of the regular center caps ( I have done it) and hot glue them to the center cap. Clean the surface with alcohol first.

 

Mark, that's EXACTLY what I've been looking for to replace the missing cap on my HRE 505's. Thanks for posting. I am buying a set.

 

There are tons of stickers on eBay, some flat, some domed, all shapes and sizes. Silver, black, and standard yellow. Just measure the diameter and get something durable. Very easy to peel off the Compomotive center and replace with something different or better. Or a moose...

Mark, report back on teh quality once you recieve them. I have the same caps you do, and I like the idea of replacing them.

Or, you could always go capless for the GTO look

I like the capless look. It's appropriate for the track...

did you do suspension work too? or are you using those compo's riding on the original koni's?

 

very cool, report back on those as well.

I met Nick at Concorso yesterday, super nice guy.

 

depending on what you paid for your car, you might break my all time world record for "upside down" on a 308

 

Long time since this thread had action but wondering where you fellow 17" compomotive wheel owners ended up on your center cap quest?

 

I feel your pain.

 

Thanks Mark. I can't open the old links to your decals in this thread. Where did you get them? Do they just stick right on over the existing center caps decal or is there some process to replacing the old decal 'properly'.

Would you mind posting a few pics here? BTW, love your car, one of the best looking 308s I've seen and a contributor to my desire/search for a black one. It was a nice bonus when the one I found that finally checked all my boxes happen to also have a mint set of Compomotives. I'm still weighing swapping to a classic 17" BBS RS but want to update the center caps with the proper logo as you have before deciding. Thanks again.

PS- also curious to know exactly what method and parts you (and Geno) went with for lowering your car. Can probably find with some searching but if you don't mind a quick note on that or directing me to the best thread I appreciate it.

 

Thanks for the advice on the wheels and the link to the centercap logo covers. I may get those. Also found these that nay look good with black car but not sure how "correct" they are. Please let be know what you think...

Also, I want to ask about the Shield logo on the upper front fenders. I see some cars with it and some without. Would you mind giving me a quick education on it. Was it OEM? Is there a split opinion on its "correctness"? Mine does not have them but I think it looks great with them. Please tell me the story on these or feel free to link me to a thread that tells it all. After understanding the info/story on it if I decide I want them, are they sticker decals or actual emblems? And where would you reccomend purchasing them? And I'm guessing there is probably some very technical measurement spec on the proper placement if them as opposed to just 'eyeballing' it.

 

Some people put stickers, some put the resin with adhesive backing and some put the metal shields BUT, 308 never came with the shield from the factory only the 288 GTO comes with the shields originally

 

Thanks again Mark. Sorry, I accidentally copy and pasted the exact center cap logos that my Compomotives already have. Meant to paste this one that is all black with the prancing horse logo...

At only $10 I went ahead and bought the traditional yellow ones with logo you linked me to on ebay this morning as well.

This is a random question but does anyone have any clue if these 17" Compomotives speced to my 308 would fit an 87-91 Testarossa (5 lug version of course). Not sure if the 8"/9" width and specific offset that is right for the 308 would also be perfect for the Testarossa. I am shopping for an 87-91 Testarossa as well (White/tan combo) and the rarity of the Compomotives have me wondering if, even I do decide to get a set of BBS RS for the 308, if I should keep the Compos and hold on to them for use on the eventual (hopefully) right Testarossa purchase.

On the side fender emblems there are enough options on ebay to confuse me from stickers to pairs of higher quality reproductions for $200-$500 for the pair, all the way up to OEM badges for $500 each (as in one. $1K to get 2). Yikes. If I am going to do it I would want to do it right (or at least mid range option to right). I'll have to do some thread searching to educate myself on opinions, experiences and pricing.

I do love the way they look though. Kind of a shame they werent standard OEM on the 308 series IMO. I' sure the purists nearly croak every time they the shield emblem on 308s. And I'm ok with that. LOL.I respect them but I will personally never understand how someone thinks the 308 looks better on the stock wheels than a quality, tasteful larger wheel like the 17" Compomotives.

 

Mark, did you say the 17" Compomotives are lighter than the 16" OEMs?
