Ferrari Mailing List: Re: New 430 "futures"

[David Thursby (david]

Shields are the same part right and left (about 920 each). Other parts 
that are left-right specific often have no consistency in prices. It's 
not uncommon to see a 3-4 fold difference in the price R v L. Another 
one that amazes me is the foglights on the 80s and 90s cars. Over 1K for 
the clear lens as used in the US - IF you can get them. The French 
market version with an amber lens can be less than a tenth the price and 
readily available. Another one is the center console plate in a Mondial 
t. US version (with temp in F) is $1400+, if available. The UK verison 
with degrees C is $220. Otherwise, exactly the same part.

YPMV, Dave
