Ferrari 296 Exterior Mirror Right

the Right Exterior Mirror for the Ferrari 296 GTB and 296 GTS is a highly sophisticated assembly. Unlike mirrors on older Ferraris, the 296 unit is a “Smart Mirror” that houses cameras for the 360-degree view and sensors for the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system.

1. Technical Identification & Options

The price and part number vary significantly depending on whether the mirror is standard painted plastic or the optional carbon fiber version.

• Standard Version: Includes the power-folding motor, heated glass, and indicator LED.

• Carbon Fiber Version: Features a high-gloss carbon fiber housing.

• Integrated Technology:

  • Surround View Camera: A small lens on the underside (if the car is equipped with the 360° camera option).

  • Blind Spot Indicator: A warning triangle etched into the mirror glass.

  • Puddle Lamp: An LED that projects the Ferrari logo or light onto the ground.

2. 2026 Market Pricing (Estimated USD)

Because the 296 is a current-gen hybrid, these parts are usually only available through Ferrari Genuine channels.

3. Installation & Software Pairing

• The “Camera Handshake”: If you replace a mirror that contains a 360° camera, the car’s infotainment system will require a Camera Calibration. This involves placing specialized mats around the car so the computer can “stitch” the new camera’s image into the overhead view correctly.

• Coding: The Blind Spot Monitoring system may require a “Proxy Alignment” via the Ferrari DEIS tool to recognize the new sensor module if the internal electronics were replaced.

• Painting: Standard mirrors are usually sold in Primer. You will need to factor in an additional $300 – $500 for a high-end body shop to match your car’s specific paint code (e.g., Rosso Imola or Grigio Scuro).

4. Common 2026 Damage Patterns

• The “Clip” Break: The 296 mirror is designed to fold, but a side-impact often snaps the internal aluminum “skeleton.” Ferrari does not sell the internal skeleton separately; usually, you must buy the entire assembly.

• Lens Pitting: In 2026, we are seeing the small underside camera lenses become pitted from road salt and debris, which makes the 360° view appear “cloudy.”
