    Leaves indentations and holes in the fenders. They can be filled, but hard to match Titanium paint.

    for information I had a Barchetta and had a similar problem on the airbag cover and steering wheel and I took a hair dryer on hot and a roller and it suck right back down and looked perfect I was really surprised .. it made it look like new and I owned the car for a years or so after that and it still looked perfect at that time

    FChat truly marvelous....I recall reading HardTen & LARRYH posts etc when I was hunting #37 in Jan '12; Nart Blu/Creama w/FHP. Extremely helpful, TAZ too. MSDESIGNLTD took a nice shot of her couple years ago attending the 'Miracle Mile" Glen Cove confab, perhaps he can upload as I cannot?
    Still in my stable.
    Thanks

    Certainly "anything is possible" but this car really deserves and wears the shields well, IMO.

    Hard Ten the Yellow Barchetta is amazing. What is with the headlights, are they from a 575? I have seen a silver 550 I think it belonged to Rod Stewart , it was underwhelming to me. I think the titanium is much nicer.

    Leave them, but shoot them in a matte Titanium for subtle accent.

    Yup, holes in my fenders have always been a desire of mine.

    For me, none....based upon low production numbers and market scarcity.
    How many change hands yearly??

    For all the hand wringing and market Protection practiced by FNA, for the life of me I cannot think of ONE "USA mandated feature" that would be important to me, as a driver.

    I'm sure the Techs can add more but it's mostly around bumpers, belts and OBD features??

    I might not feel that way on a general 360 or 430, but that's not the question here...I told ross when he sold his very well sorted 456 Euro to move to the US I would just drive it on the Ranch and hide it until 25 years went by.....:D :D
