In the process of doing some repair work I noticed one of the red door-light lenses on the heel of the door had dropped off. I imagine like many parts this is unobtanium unless Fiat or Alfa use the same. Anyone know where I might find a pair?
Thanks.

Hi Sam , it was a while ago but I did get one from GT car parts. I might have a spare if that supplier does not work out . Let me know. Mike

I definitely have some but not sure where they are.
They are the correct original Altissimo but not sure what condition they are until I dig them out.
I will let you know soonest

Thanks everyone. I only need one but thought the other could be a spare. It was also suggested I check this place http://www.autoepoca.it but I know nothing about them.
Cheers,

Thanks Ian.
I got to thinking that the door light on the C/4 might be similar to the front fender marker on a European Daytona - whatever is in the bin etc. I took a look at a website I had had not seen before http://partscollector.com and they had a bunch of lights of various kinds including what looked like the Daytona light, although it could also be a Fiat. Interesting website for parts if it is legit.

Hello Sam
The front wing lights on the UK/Euro GTC4 (Same as Daytona) are Carello,amber, slghtly domed & approx 35mm diameter.
The rear edge door lights are Altissimo,red, flat & approx 20 mm diameter.
The metal work is also different in that the wing light is a push through fitting with stainless/chrome trim embellisher .
The door lamp is more secure & sits in a stainess steel housing on a rubber gasket with two screws to hold in place.

Hi guys. Just to add the wing marker lenses on my UK C4 are Altissimo, about 35mm dia and domed. I wonder if later cars moved to the Carello lenses that Ian's car Is obviously fitted with?

Thanks Steve,
I guess I should have said that the lamps are Carello on my car but Ferrari can fit what is in the
nearest parts bin if they are the same size.

I have tried several commercial sources but am still looking for a door light. Any suggestions? Is ours the same as a Daytona or 400?
Cheers.
