Removing the F emblem on the side panel

Post by rontron2012 »

Does anyone know how without taking off the fender do you remove the F bertone emblem on the side of the spider just in front of the door?

Front of the door? any chance of a picture? the emblem behind the door is accessed by removing the plastic liner inside the car.

If you want to replace it look no further than mark allison at allison automotive...

I assume spidermark on ebay is the same business...

I ordered 4 of these from him, they are very nice, heavy, solid thick. The colors pop well enough...

Very high quality...worth the price

And its a pininfarina f by the way, not bertone

If you remove the inside plastic quarter panel behind each seat, there are access holes to get at the back of the emblem. It is somewhat of a pita working through the access holes. Some of the emblems just push in to plastic seating bits, this is the way mine was, so I was able to just carefully pop them off and press in the new ones from the outside of the car.
