They are already delivered with a very ugly plate on the backside telling us it's a 575. I can see that for myself. Some of them have a optional chrome grill. Hope to see one soon

Help :-? Is there another facelift of the 575M or what?

 

[Dr. Bob]

The year 2004 brings some minor changes, just like normal productioncars each car has little differences each year. It is still called the 575 M Maranello

 

[zwoemba]

And what are the biggest changes?

 

[Dr. Bob]

It now has a badge on it's back saying it's a 575 M Maranello, it can be ordered with a chrome grill, don't know much more

 

[Azzurro California 575M]

Here's the name plate:

I saw a photo of the rear end on another forum. Heck, the 575 is not a Honda, BMW, MB, or any other car which needs to have its name stamped on the outside.

If you do not know what it is, you do not know what it is. Maybe they should paint the word Ferrari on the side like a Porchse.

Chrome grills make the car go faster, does it not? Maybe it helps in cornering.

Ugly like a MB.

Yipes!!!

:ugh:

:nuts:

:evil:

I kinda like it.

 

[Dr. Bob]

It is butt ugly, so atleast they put it in the right place
IMO it shouldn't even be there

 

[Dj Dirk]

yep, shouldn't be there, doesn't look good on the car, besides if you have to go and read on the back to see what it is, then theirs something wrong :wink:

 

[Bazil]

Hang on guys - have you all gone mad?

What about the 355 series, or the 348 series, or the TR series etc etc.

They've all got badges on the back saying what they are? Why the issue with this one?

 

[Dj Dirk]

the placing of the badges on for instance the 355 series, is cool.
it's elegantly tucked away
besides the topmodels never had a badgenaming
like the 550, 456, daytona.

granted the 512 series does have it (BB & TR)

 

[Dr. Bob]

Indeed, on other cars they are elegantly toucked away. Here you got this big ass, and they just put a badge on it. On the 575 there is no place to tuck it away, so leave it of then...

 

[Stradale]

It's not as bad as it was first made out to be.

As with the Mercedes and BMWs in Germany, the "model number" badge can be removed on request. So no big deal.

also on a VW :green:

besides, it's very easy to do it yourself, takes about 5-10 min.
