    Does anybody tell me a good supplier who carries OEM parts with the best prices? I'm looking for some body parts like...sub frame, hood, fender....etc...
    I don't speak Italian at all, so a comapny that has an English speaking rep is preferred.
    I have searched in this forum and found that Ferrari UK may supply to the overseas customers. But I couldn't found the contact info... :(
    Thanks.

    I cannot help you with the parts. However if you install Google on your computer, it has a translation feature which may allow you to send your inquiry in italian or other desired language. I use it to send e-mails to my cousin in Italy. Hope this helps.

    It depends on which car you need parts for but Ferrari UK are in the sponsor section - if its for a newer car then there are lots of used part specialists listed around this site

    I personally get lots of machine translated Japanese email daily. It is kinda very hard-to-break code language. Does English-to-Italian translation work well? If I can find a dealer in Italy, I'll try it. Thanks.

    Thank you for the info. I'm looking for some body parts for 360 Modena, Ferrari genuine, brand new ones. If you know the better place to get them, pls let me know. Price is the priority, but it is not the only point. I would pay for the responsible service. Thanks.

    I think you'll find it very difficult not to buy these new parts through your local distribution system ie dealer/importer

    Although the initial prices in Italy might seem attractive, I would **STRONGLY** encourage you to purchase them locally in Japan.

    1. Shipping to Japan will be extremely expensive. Weight isn't the issue -- volume is. Most body parts have large cubic dimensions when packed. Don't forget about duty and taxes.

    2. Ferrari body panels are very inconsistent in their quality, if not downright poor. If you buy directly in Italy, you'll have no recourse with the seller if you're not happy. For a point of reference, I have a fender and a door coming back to Ricambi on Monday because of poor quality that the customer rejected. Buy it locally in Japan, and you'll have recourse if the quality is poor.

    3. See point #1


    Take my advice however you chose. I have inbound shipments daily from all corners of the world. Body panels and most coachwork is always a dicey proposition.

    I do exporting business, so I know how the shipping is ridiculously expensive. But the problem is, nobody here supplies what I want to get. So I have no choice.
    The quarity matter can not be a big concern at this stage. I'll get the parts first, then I may have to think about it.
    Thank you.

    To bad you are not in the USA...Daniel at Ricambi(Jack Russell Racing) has great prices and the BEST service of anyone in the world.........
    When you are buying Ferrari body panels it is IMPERATIVE that you deal with a supplier that will make sure you get a quality part.
