    I have a 360 spider which was an import from the UK...and I am in Australia, i guess most Ferrari owners are fussy and i am the same... as the car comes from the UK the climate control dial has the temp settings in Fahrenheit not Celsius... is there a quick easy fix to this...? i am hoping some decals and not having to replace the whole facia of the unit...

    It's a bit like the Aussie delivered 430.....the speedo is infuriatingly annoying.
    It has increments of 15kph's so 100 is not indicated.
    You get either 90 or 120 highlighted and 100 is a guessing job.

    I'd love to change it.

    there must be the parts somewhere... or some aftermarket specialist dude that can change this? Am hoping as this Ferrari chat goes to every corner of the globe some super detailed Ferrari specialist /geek will have a simple fix...

    Rob with your speedo though would be the stock Italian version as they are metric and the autostradas have a supposed 120 km/h limit so I am guessing your speedo is what it is and no other version would exist except in mph...

    i have the same problem in reverse. My spider is imported to the US. and the only euro part is the climate controls Celsius not Fahrenheit. I have looked several places for a "stick" on cover, but no luck yet. Hope someone has a "fix"

    You could change out the overlay to correct your gauge too. I switched mine out.[/QUOTE]

    Thanks dsku... but is there an overlay for the climate control switch? Mine must already have the overlay for the main guages but they did not convert the climate switch...

    I'm fairly sure the numbers are etched ie no viable overlay so why don't you & Talon30 just swop complete units ?

    Nobody makes an overlay for the 360 HVAC panel. The lettering, symbols and numbers are imprinted onto the plastic under the clear coating, which will get sticky down the road.... My graphics company I work with to reproduce the parts I strip could make one up in a vinyl decal, but not sure what the cost would be.

    A couple users suggested you guys swap faceplates, that would work perfectly if you decided to do that. The top face portion will separate from the actual electronics/box. Then you could just send each other the top faceplates and keep the actual boxes...

    If you decide to do that send me a PM for some tips on opening that box up, there are some weak points in there that WILL break if your not careful....

    My bad guys. I misread your initial post. I thought you were wanting to switch out your instrument gauge overlay. I apologize for the confusion. Was just trying to help...
