Tasteful or not

[ric p]

I'm thinking about putting a couple of Ferrari shield badges from Eurospares on the front wings of my 328. Some cars seem to have them and some not. Sometimes I think they add to the car having seen them on others' vehicles but every now and then I feel that they are a bit naff. What's the score then, all views appreciated.

I love them and think they make the car.

A real Ferrari nerd will tell you that you should only have them on a race Ferrari.

Bollocks to that, they look great. If you prefer them, do it

If you put them on, make sure they are the metal ones and not plastic.

Another good question. I thought that the only ones were the raised resin ones that fit a 328/308 car, I've never seen a car with metal ones. Didn't know metal ones exist.

On a 348 the proper metal enamel ones were a (£1000..) factory option, standard on some models (like the 348GTC). The wings are recessed to take them.

Decent metal replicas are available that are thinner so it not necessary to recess the bodywork - they look good but are not as cheap as the plastic ones (we are talking a couple of hundred easily).

Edited to add: Personally (and just my 2p) I don't think these cars need them, there are plenty of 'pure Ferrari' details on our cars already.

I think they look great and add to the overall Ferrari image. Put em on!!!
