I'm sure your local Halfords will have a good old Haynes Manual for the 355. You could try having a flick through one of those

Are you still going to the Motorshow??? If you are I'll e-mail my details later.

Regarding fitting of Challenge Grill:
Manu is probably best person to answer your question. He's forever taking the arse end of Ferraris apart.

Found this for the 360, in which the answer appears to be 'yes'. Site search may help for the 355, or post the question there yourself.

IMO, FerrariChat is the best source of technical info.

The job's easy on both 355 and 360. Just be careful to install the lamps the correct way up so that your "half" sections for tail and brake lamps are in the correct position.

Here's a good tip I've learned from racing/crashing 360's....If you back one into the wall with your foot on the brake, and the lights break causing the fuse to blow, you can't get gears if you've got F1 as the brake lights need to be triggered. A blown bulb is OK, but not a blown fuse.
