    Hey guys, havent posted in a while. Just got a new 881/2 testarossa and been haveing to much fun with it to post. The previous owner had bought a chrome Cavillino for the back to replace the black one. When he shipped them to me, he shipped me a big one and a small one. I assume the small one is for the front, but the is no way to mount it. Is the car suppposed to have one on the front anyway? And if so, what else could I be missing to mount it. It has two studs with nuts just like the back one? Any ideas

    There's no stock front one -- so you have to fabricate your own bracketry. Try a search on "TR front cavallino" -- should get you some prior information.

    Dear Ferraristi,

    First, a big "Freeze....Miami Vice ! out to you. Congrats!

    The front grill is aluminum and what I did was to TIG weld aluminum circular tabs on the inside edge of the grill. The horsie then just bolts on to the front as if it came that way from the factory.

    The tabs were welded then filed flush. The grill was resprayed in black satin OEM trim black. I know the grill was originally anodized but it fades and gets rock chips. Once you go through the effort of painting it, it can always be kept in a like-new condition.

    Pix of your car please !

    ....preferably with a scantly-clad babe posing with it. :D
