Hi All,

Having had the bumpers and seals repainted on my CS I am convinced that the very insistant workshop manager has dropped a nad by painting them "Rosso Corsa".......

.....is the correct colour not "Rosso Scuderia" for the 360 CS????

You could get the CS in either Rosso Corsa or Rosso Scuderia

Depends on which your car is, is whether hes made a mistake or not. Will be noted on a little sticker to the underside of the boot lid

Thanks Elms,

i went straight to the label under the bonnet and guess what.......just a sticky mark where the label was!

The colour difference in the sunlight is considerable which is what im basing my arguement on. Im now being told its more than likely the armofend which is causing the difference!

Im no paint expert but i can see a colour shade difference when i see it.

A main dealer should have the colour spec from the original sales invoice maybe?

Kev, post a pic up of the car (if you have one?)

[F40 KEV]

Sorry dont have any of the offending paintwork but his is "pre-paintshop"

In that picture the car does not look orangy enough to be Rosso Scuderia!
My car is not as dark as this picture and it is Scuderia but it could just be the photo!

[F40 KEV]

ok thanks Neil...

It does ***look*** rosso corsa in the picture, but as noted, the lighting can be deceptive.

Please note, there are multiple variants of Rosso Corsa, some darker than others. The only way to be sure is to call your local Ferrari dealer and ask them to put your chassis number into Modiscs (Ferrari online portal) and confirm the colour code. At this point, order the correct sticker from their parts dept... Save any future mix up.

maybe a daft idea but just thinking outside the box a little- if you can't find the colour code of your car is there a scuderia or corsa car nearby that you could park next to and compare? this at least will show similarity/difference depending upon which colour you are next to and allows for sunlight etc. Just a thought! good luck in sorting out.

As said, the colour looks Rosso Corsa to me, but there are several varaints of Rosso Corsa. It's very poor from the bodyshops perspective though, as any decent painter would have tinted accordingly to acheive a perfect match. The bodyshop i use has always provided a perfect match. If it isn't perfect - take it back.

Scuderia is more orange at night.

[Chris355]

Looks like Rosso corsa to me too!

[jenzo]

Looks like Rosso Corsa 322 DS to me.

[elms]

Sorry I dont know how to post pictures, but this is a good indication of Rosso Scuderia

Thanks for all the help people. I am waiting for 100% confirmation from Ferrari but it appears that the car is in fact Rosso corsa and my bumpers and seals are now Rosso Scuderia. No explination for the missing paint sticker though which was obvioulsy there in the not to distant past!?

At least the paint shop have now accepted there is a fault and offered to re-paint and re-apply new armofend in all affected areas!!

Thanks again all

I'd say this was the bodyshop knowing they'd cocked up by painiting it the wrong colour, and hoping you wouldn't notice if they removed the sticker that clearly states the correct code.

At least they've offered to rectify it I guess.
