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

You can gently ease them out of the wing with your fingernails. They are only attached by the friction between the rubber and the wing.

I don't think there is a 12V socket in the boot of a Cali. There's one thing you'll quickly learn as a Ferrari customer - and that is Ferrari don't give a **** about their customers and that extends into the design and usability of their cars. You have been sold the brand and performance only!

You'd be best to get a trickle charge cable wired in.

If you don't have any luck with your fingernails or don't have any, try wrapping some dental floss around the lamp to ease it out - it worked for me

What? Wait... you're a surgeon, man! How can you be ok to take a human apart and rebuild it but be reluctant to pop the side indicator out of a car? :smile:

PS - do you ever have any bits of human left over after you've put him all back together again..?

I did think about that Adam after I had typed it! ******* bonkers isn't it! The difference is I suppose I know i can put back together any part of the body I take apart.. but if I scratched the Ferrari I would be devastated !

Dental floss seems like a good idea. I wold just be happy to pay for the parts and labour for it to be done.. just a shame I live too far away from any independents :(

And on answer to your other question- I often have left over bits! Especially if it's a massive weight loss or breast reduction patient. Sometimes have 1kg + of tissue removed. A lot of the other time is spent fixing holes as best I can. Admittedly they need around 2years to settle to look their best - I might start using a good detailer!

Yeuch! I'd far rather have a mysterious washer left over then a kilo of fat. I've skimmed my knuckles more than a few times and nearly lost a finger in a metal fan but happily my post-maintenance residual parts tend to generally not need incinerating.

Stuart I noticed from your pictures you have Pirelli Corsa AMP tyres on the front of you car
I also have these on mine but they are for Aston Martin
Why do we have these fitted?
Is it a mistake do you think?

Indeed, I have seen a number of Stradales with them and they were on mine when I bought it in December, so they were definitely fitted by Maserati GB.
Once they have worn however, I will be switching to a different brand

Thanks Stuart
I'm a bit anal about originality so I'll be sticking with the Corsa but will try and get rid of the AMP.

I've a set of Corsa fronts taken off my Stradale sitting in the garage. They have plenty of life left in them, the rears were worn but I chose to change all 4 to Michelin. Let me know if you have any interest in them for not too much £££ and I can take a look and see if they are MGT coded.
