Ferrari Mailing List: Re: air-flow metering blade search continues

Michael,
There are plenty of shops online that specialize in repair of these
components.  You may want to try calling some of them and see if they can
replace the damaged part.
Here is one that fixes them for VW Vanagons:

Not much is wrong. But my mechanic finally found out why the car was running
rich ALL the time. For years, I had to ask for a fuel-mixture twice a year. 
One in the spring (after a long winter sitting without running, it's always
a good idea) and then once more during the summer. 2 weeks ago he saw that
the round thin blade under the air filter (air-flow metering blade) was
bent. I looked at it again yesterday and about 1/4 of the round blade does
not touch the edge of the air inlet. Apparently, this cannot be corrected by
hand. You need another one. Since Bosch does not make those anymore, you
need to find a good used one.
I drive the car with no problem, but the bumper has that black powder on it
and so does the rear of the car ALL THE TIME.
