    OK, two screws loose. I seem to be missing the mounting screws for the front lights on my 328. Daniel at Ricambi is looking for them as well, as they do not come as part of the light assembly when you order it new. Another problem is that the screw is not even listed in the parts diagram. The screws I am talking about are the two mounting screws that attach part number 20 to 21 in this diagram:

    One is 60 mm long, and the other is 120mm long! I haven't called GT Car parts yet to see if they have them off a parts car, just thought I'd try you guys first. Here's a pic of the 60 mm screw I DO have for the left light.

    Should be able to match at least the thread pitch and overall length at any Ace Hardware. Might not have the blank sleeve however..

    Not a standard phillips head though...Ferrari uses some wierd ones, like at the corners of the window mullions....

    In that case though I took something standard and ground it down, to fit the recess....

    Right. It's a pan head finishing/trim screw of some sort. They usually have a hex slot.

    Well, it turns out this was a false alarm, as I found the two missing screws today!

    But I guess I did find another NLA part for the car though. ;)
