Ferrari 458 Carbon Spoiler Front Right Left 83262500 83262300

In 2026, the part numbers 83262500 (Right) and 83262300 (Left) refer to the Front Bumper Carbon Fiber Aerodynamic Winglets (often called spoilers or “aero fins”) for the Ferrari 458 Italia and 458 Spider.

These are the flexible, functional carbon fiber fins located inside the front radiator intakes. They are famous for their “shape-shifting” ability—bending at high speeds to reduce drag and redirect airflow under the car.

1. Technical Identification

• Part Numbers: * 83262500: Front Right Carbon Winglet.

  • 83262300: Front Left Carbon Winglet.

• Material: Specialized flexible carbon fiber composite. Unlike the rigid carbon fiber used for interior trim, these are designed to deflect under aerodynamic load.

• Compatibility: Ferrari 458 Italia and 458 Spider.

• Function: At low speeds, they direct air into the radiators. At high speeds ($>200 \text{ km/h}$), the wind pressure deforms them to close off the intake and reduce the frontal drag coefficient.

These parts are frequently replaced because they sit very low to the ground and are easily damaged by steep driveways, speed bumps, or road debris.

3. The “Aftermarket” Warning

By 2026, many aftermarket companies produce “carbon look” or rigid carbon fiber versions of these fins.

• The Problem: Genuine Ferrari fins (83262500/83262300) are functional aero. They are designed to bend. Rigid aftermarket versions will not deform at speed, which can slightly alter the car’s high-speed stability and cooling efficiency.

• The Visual: If the carbon weave on an aftermarket part doesn’t match the $1 \times 1$ or $2 \times 2$ weave of your other Ferrari factory carbon, it will be very noticeable given their prominent position in the front “mouth” of the car.

4. Installation & Common Damage

• Mounting: These are held in place by a series of T20/T25 Torx screws and a retaining bracket inside the bumper. You do not usually need to remove the entire bumper to replace them, but it requires the car to be on a lift for proper access.

• Delamination: In 2026, many original 458s are seeing the resin on these fins “cloud over” or delaminate due to years of heat and stone impacts. Because they are flexible, they cannot be easily re-cleared like rigid carbon; the clear coat will simply crack again when the fin bends.
