And the front wings too.
Are you sitting down!
First of all they are not interchangeable to the 3200 except the back bumper.
Second there has only been one MCV carbon splitter made available second hand in the US in the eight years I have been looking.
Third...the front bumper is almost 2k without the splitter...and the carbon fiber extended splitter is £7k and the rear carbon spoiler almost 3k from Maserati and a special order...more than a cat D 3200 would be worth sadly.
What?
Could you explain me the difference between 3200 and 4200 bumpers with pics please?
If you look at the pictures at the top of this thread you will see a section of metal bodywork that joins the two wings of the red 3200. This runs between the bonnet and the plastic bumper. Compare this with the 4200 picture where the wings are separate, and the plastic bumper goes all the way up to the bonnet line.
This means that any 4200 style bumper would need to be cut to fit a 3200, even IF the mountings could be modified to be the same.
Also, the 3200 bumper is a single piece with an integrated splitter section, while the GS/MCV/Facelift bumper has a bolted-on splitter section.
so for the front, we have three different bumper styles:
1. 3200 with built-in splitter
2. pre-facelift 4200 with built in splitter
3. all other 4200 variants that have mountings for a separate splitter
and three different splitters
1. Facelift 4200
2. GranSport splitter (deeper and has vented sides)
3. MCV which looks deeper still and is carbon fibre.
Not sure if you could spec a Carbon splitter for the GS as well.
the main thing is that the 3200 is on its own as none of the others fit without modification.
Beyond my knowledge I'm afraid. Maybe talk to David Askew as he breaks cars and knows Maseratis better than most. Should be able to find his details online.
Afraid not, but this is his website

this sounded like a good idea but £7k - are they mad... I also check the cost of the flag on the side of the wing on a MCV a few years back....... about £350
