As the team at Ricambi America expands our business beyond the primary Ferrari parts world, we are becoming deeply involved in Lamborghini parts as well. A prime suppliers of ours in England, Hill Engineering has been instrumental in helping us develop custom Lamborghini parts which allow owners to personalize their cars, improve their cars, and just have fun in their garage.Our first “custom” item is an oil filter tool which allows the simple removal of a Gallardo oil filter housing. Although Lamborghini makes a similar tool, it is ridiculously overpriced and really of marginal quality. Similar to Ferrari tools, the manufacturer produces these tools for workshops, but gives little thought to how they’ll be used over the years. Now, with Hill Engineering at our side, we have released tool OFT-05 for the Gallardo.
Next up, will likely be an item very similar to a popular Ferrari part we sell — skid plates! The skid plates are made from either extremely strong plastic, or billet aluminum. Mounted to the lower side of the front bumper, they are basically invisible to a passerby, but do an outstanding job protecting a Ferrari or Lamborghini front bumper when the car crosses a concrete parking lot apron. Rather than the ‘crunch’ sound of a $4000 bumper scratching the ground, the skid plate gives itself up and protects the bumper. In terms of popular Ferrari parts, the Hill Engineering skid plates have been a huge success. Now, we’re designing them for the Lamborghini Gallardo, with an expected release date in early 2009.
