Product Description:

The Capristo Carbon Fibre Fuel Tank Cap is a premier aesthetic upgrade for the Ferrari 488 GTB and Spider, designed to replace the standard factory component with a high-tech, motorsport-inspired finish. Hand-crafted in Germany, this part provides a subtle yet impactful detail that aligns with the exotic nature of the 488's mid-engine design.

Performance & Stance

• Aesthetic Refined: While primarily a visual enhancement, the fuel cap adds a touch of technical prestige to the vehicle's flank. The deep, reflective carbon weave provides a high-contrast detail against the Ferrari paintwork.

• Lightweight Durability: Utilizing high-grade carbon fibre allows for a component that is lighter than the standard metal/plastic assembly while offering superior resistance to corrosion and environmental wear.

• Authentic Branding: Each cap features a specific indentation designed to house an original Ferrari emblem. Capristo includes an original Ferrari-OEM emblem with the cap, ensuring the finished look remains authentic to the Maranello brand.

Compatibility

• Model Range: Specifically designed for the Ferrari 488 GTB, 488 Spider, 488 Pista, and Pista Spider.

• Model Year Nuance: It is important to note the mounting specifications:

  • Pre-2018 Models: Typically feature mounting screws with 29mm center-to-center spacing.

  • 2018+ & F8 Models: Utilize a slightly wider 39mm center-to-center screw spacing.

• Synergy: Engineered to work seamlessly with both the factory fueling mechanism and the Capristo Carbon Engine Bonnet/Cover.

Engineering & Material Configurations

• Autoclave Curing: Manufactured in an autoclave using billet steel molds. This high-pressure process ensures maximum structural strength and a flawless, bubble-free surface.

• Type L Weave Pattern: Capristo uses the "Type L" weave, which is a 1:1 match to Ferrari’s OEM carbon fibre. This ensures that the cap perfectly complements any factory-optioned carbon components on the vehicle.

• Finish Options:

  • Gloss Finish: A deep, mirror-like shine that highlights the intricate carbon weave.

  • Matte Finish: A sophisticated, satin look (often available via special order) for a more understated motorsport feel.

Installation

• Direct Interchange: The cap is equipped with threaded bolts on the rear side, designed for a direct swap with the original component.

• Non-Invasive: No drilling or permanent modification is required; the installation utilizes the vehicle's original mounting holes.

• Emblem Application: The supplied OEM Ferrari emblem is applied to the central indentation after the cap is secured, completing the factory-plus look.
