Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 550 Marenello

[Dan Warlick (edwf430]

If you are having the inevitable bubbling on your A/C controls in the 355, 
Daniel at Ricambi America has a new plastic decal/overlay that makes it look 
new again. You have to take a razor blade and very carefully slice around 
the control box to remove the old display/indicators sine it was actually 
made onto the unit originally. I have seen the Ricambi overlay and it looks 
beautiful when done right.
