Ferrari 296 Carbon Cover Engine Left 777307

the part number 777307 refers to the Left-Hand Carbon Fiber Engine Compartment Cover for the Ferrari 296 GTB and 296 GTS.

As part of the premium engine bay aesthetic package, this component covers the structural and mechanical elements on the left side of the “Piccolo V12” (the 120° V6) engine bay, providing a finished, high-tech look visible through the rear glass.

1. Technical Identification

• Part Number: 777307

• Position: Left Side (Driver’s side on LHD cars).

• Material: High-temp resistant “dry” carbon fiber with a high-gloss finish.

• Compatibility: * Ferrari 296 GTB

  • Ferrari 296 GTS

• Purpose: It is primarily an aesthetic “dress-up” piece but also serves as a heat shield for some of the sensitive hybrid electronics and wiring looms located beneath it.

2. 2026 Market Pricing (Estimated USD)

The 296 is a current-generation model in 2026, meaning most of these parts are sourced directly through Ferrari Genuine parts.

3. Common 2026 Issues: Heat Hazing

Because the 296 engine bay reaches extreme temperatures (especially near the “Hot V” turbos), the most common issue for part 777307 is Heat Hazing or “yellowing” of the resin.

• Diagnosis: If your carbon cover looks cloudy or has a yellow tint, the UV/Heat protection in the clear coat has failed.

• Prevention: In 2026, many owners apply a specialized Ceramic Coating or high-temp Heat Reflective Tape on the underside of the panel to extend the life of the carbon finish.

4. Installation & Fitment

• Mounting: The cover is held in place by a series of specialized hex-head bolts and rubber grommets. It is designed to be “floating” to allow for thermal expansion.

• DIY Potential: This is a very easy “bolt-on” installation. It does not require any special tools other than a standard metric hex/allen set.

• Torque Warning: Do not over-tighten the bolts. Carbon fiber is brittle; over-tightening can crack the mounting eyelets as the engine bay heats up and expands.
