If EVM ROB can't help you and if your front bumper uses the same turn signal lens as the 308 GTB/GTS Ferrari there are usually sellers on ebay with repro lenses for a more reasonable price. Sometimes you can find amber, amber/clear and clear versions of the lenses. I have Rodney's Euro front bumper and I got my lenses from ebay, they are repros but look good. This seller has all 3 versions, search - 308 ferrari turn lens .

I may be able to help out some with your questions since I have owned both a 308 kit as well as Meras. Some of my answers will be specific and some will require some research. Let's start with the easy one first.

1. The wheels that you found are 16" x 9" so they are not the Chromadoras associated with the Mera. All of the 88 Mera Chromadora options are 15" wheels. I do have a complete set of spare Chromadora rims in my storage area and can take measurements on them if needed since I do not have to pull them from the cars.

2. The front bumper lights that I believe that you are referencing belong on the Euro bumper that Rodney developed for the Mera. The stock Mera bumper did not have integrated lights. You may be able to get a reproduction yellow lens for your application from EVM Rob on PFF. It is difficult to locate the specific Ferrari lens since they apparently used different lenses for different models and even for different years of the same model. BTW, which lens do you need? I ask this only since I may have one spare lens that was installed on a Euro bumper and appears to be a stock Ferrari lens. One of the lenses had a bottom chunk missing from apparent rock damage but the other one is intact.

3. WRT the door handle, I will try to get a couple of photos of the Mera handle as well as the door interior arrangement . If I can get decent photos, I will post them here or send them directly to you via email.



Hidden Door Handle Location

I tried to get photos of the interior of the door with the inner panel removed but no luck for a decent photo without tearing the whole door apart.

Nelson thank you very much for taking the time to take those photos and attempting to get photos from the inside door panel I think that's going to be one of my biggest obstacles I will post up photos of his silly door handles when I get a chance

Image wheels in the UK makes a 5 spoke Classic Star pattern wheel that would look good on a 308. They are 3 piece wheels either cast or billet and available in 15 thru 20 inch sizes.

I do have a spare NOS red Mera stop light lens if you need one.

Here is a link to 3SDM 0.05 Wheels (available in 15 inch to 18 inch diameters) which you also may like. On offer at ECS Tuning, these 18 inch versions (Part # 3SDM:3S5880CSD ), while scuffed as well as larger than the stock 15" Mera and 16" 308 wheels, are very affordable at $63 each:

I was looking at Rodneys site out of curiosity and he has updated his front bumper page and states that he is going to make a few more. I have one of them on my Mera and they are first rate, well engineered like all of the other products I have purchased from him. I think it really improves the look of the front of the car, was well worth the expense.

Everything I have purchased from Rodney has been first class. Unlike another place.

Hello.
I'm Carsten.
I bought a 88 Mera for about 3 weeks.
Hope to find some other drivers.

Hi, and welcome !!
You have a rare car. I've heard there were only about 50 Meras sent to Europe. Tell us about your car, and if you have a PC you can post some pictures too, if you wish.
