    2009 Scuderia. Driver's side. Outside car looking in. The Ferrari plate looks upside-down to me, unless it's something special for the Scuderia? How easy is that to fix (if it's incorrect)? Thanks.

    Seriously, is that Ferrari plate just on there with an adhesive or is there a screw behind it? Could I just use a heat gun, lift it, spin it and stick it back?

    Upside down, at least compared to my '08.

    Yep, it's upside down. How about the one on the passenger side?

    sorta like that upside down bi-plane stamp, it may be worth millions.

    That's definitely a defective workmanship. Ferrari needs to improve their quality inspection department. I have heard same story with another new Scud with a bad factory paint job. If I were you, I would go back to the dealer to get that fixed under manufacturer's warranty.

    Even better yet, with the 458 on the way, and scud values about to go down the toilet, take it back to the dealer and demand a full refund for the defect under warranty

    I agree the dealer will repair it, but it requires 2 trips - one for photo documentation to send to FNA and then again for the repair when the ordered part comes in. The dealer is 1 hour each way. It would be easier if the Ferrari plate is just on with adhesive and I can order a new one and switch it myself.
