Alternative Side wing indicators for the Stradale

[StuartW]

I bought a pair of these recently and fitted them today. I'm not trying to make my whole car black but I don't like bright orange side indicators and these go well with the smoked rear lenses. They are simple to fit and come with the appropriate orange bulbs which shine through the smoked lens effectively enough, although probably not as bright as the OEM.
The seller supplies them for lots of other cars too if anyone is interested.

I prefer the black too, nice one Stuart.

Agreed Stuart - Nice little touch definitely worth doing. Good work. These things makes a big difference.
Any chance of some updated pics including more of the car

You can buy them in Germany for much less than that: https://aldousvoice.com/2013/11/15/ferrari-360f430-clear-side-repeaters/

Ahh, I didn't realise that. Oh well, I guess I have done my bit for the British economy by buying these but thanks for letting me know

Yes, I must take some more photos but to be going on with, here is my set of MC pedals which I fitted today. It was one of the options that I would have spec'ed if I was buying new but these came from a Stradale in Australia which is being broken for spares following an engine fire sadly

I thought about doing this but I actually quite like the orange ones. My car is so black that it's a welcome bit of colour, for some reason. I'm probably wrong!

With mine being Grigio Granito, I think it works ok plus the huge yellow calipers give it plenty enough contrast for me

Do you know if you can get some for the Cali? The website seems to only say 360/430

Nice Stu...black is the way to go....Now get the chrome strip on the back painted body colour ....... As you know we spoke befor can never understand why Maserati never did this on the Steadsle as it's add odds with the nature of the car. Ok on standard car but not the road racer that is the Stradale.

 

[w5pwr]

Thats a strange one, never knew they where there or taken any notice of them until you just highlighted them.......

They certainly don't add anything being orange?

 

[iainw]

With you mate. Didn't even spot them- but now stuart has changed them I won't be able to stop looking at them.
Good mod!

Thanks Andy - it's on my list, probably in piano black to match the window surrounds

They just stand out being wrong to me, especially in context with the rest of the car's lights. I'm surprised they went with orange for OEM and not clear or smoked with the orange bulbs but yes, once it was in mind mind, it I couldn't get past the brightness of the orange! It's the little things ...

Tha would work...seen a few that have gone black and looks good.

It's my website and my interest is predominately 360/430 however I think they do fit a California. If you pull one out and measure the diameters I'll check for you.

 

[iainw]

Cheers mate. I am not the most technically minded.. so pulling it out will be stressful! Do you know if it's glued or attached in any way?
Whilst I can ask an expert- do you know if there is a 12v plug in the boot? I really need to plug my trickle charger in

Steward, what's with your photos? Or is that a really odd paint job?

Interesting that the lenses on my common or garden GT are clear....

Steward??

It's the reflection of the inside of my canvas garage

And yes, too bad the clear lenses weren't used on the Stradale too - they would have looked a lot better
