Rear Diffuser with Fins - GTS

[iainw]

Does anyone know where you could get a Vented rear diffuser from for a GTS?

The only ones I can find that aren't silly prices are in China.

After seeing Carbon Paddles for £3600 though - maybe the prices I have found are quite reasonable :/

The only ones that I have really seen are the Formula Dynamics ones

and they are $3625 plus shipping.

Speak to Krishna/Peavey he's just bought a GTS and someone had stuck the fins to the OEM bumper.

Now your all thinking Jeeez, but it looks OK and a very cleaver trick of the eye.

sounds like an idea - thanks for that. Do you have their contact details?

I think I saw similar option via US Ebay for around 600 dollars... the Over 3k option is way too much.

Send him a PM but he bought the car with them on but will have the previous owners address on his logbook.

I would have thought if you search Ebay for: rear diffuser fins it will turn up something

Plenty of race car body work shops around who will make one for you in fibreglass or carbon composite. Or just make your own.... Carbon Fibre supplies, with a bit of cold cure glue Bob's your Uncle.

These guys are great at repairing carbon fibre btw.

Thanks mate - these are great links.
Do you know any bodyshops who could do it SW England / Wales way?

Carbon Weezel in Southampton are excellent - I have some parts from them on my race car.

I've heard that FiberWorx in Yeovil are good, but I've no personal experience of them.

I don't really know about any other fabricators in the Southwest/Wales areas to pass on to you. There will be some though, I'm sure!

 

[peavey]

not sure where the previous owner bought them from

 

[Andyk]

You could get them when ordering from the factory so could they have been on the car from new ?

Any idea of carbon dipping places within striking distance of us andy?

 

[bigbob]

I'm loving this. Surely it would be cheaper just to dip the whole car?

 

[murph7355]

A little scruffy as the car's been out in the rain a few times recently...

OEM.

Bit of an anti-climax when I looked at them closely.

 

[Andyk]

Now that has surprised me as I thought it was all carbon not just the fins...Wonder how much Maserati charged for those little bits of carbon.

Going on past experience far too much.

Indeed, + 1

That's quite some angle on the 'diffuser'! I can't imagine there's any air actually attached to it when the car is moving.

How about just buying a couple of these - nail one onto your own car, and sell the other to cover all your costs.

Are you serious?
£150 pounds to make the side skirts match all the other carbon accessories. Hardly dipping the whole car.
Luckily there is carbon everywhere else.
Some people like to make their cars personal - some like to leave it run of the mill.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
I detest light interiors - but I dont criticise others for buying them.
Maseratis appeal to all age ranges and personalities and should be applauded for that.

They do look good - but can you understand the website and would trust delivery this side of xmas? Those OEM ones of Murph look ok. just Shows the maserati designers approve of these additions that Bob disapproves of so much.
they are expensive for a reason. Enough people are willing to pay for them. Simple supply and demand.
