Another school day. I wonder why they didn't do it on anything else

yes if anything you’d expect it on a Strad or GT Sport, not on a sedan..but I’ve given up second guessing the Italians. I’ll try it out one of these days, I’ve been tempted a few times but never actually tried it. Would be better on an empty road the first time, just in case it does something unexpected - it is a Maserati after all..

Hi Gents, sorry to hijack, I am in based in Western Australia and have had a similar decision to make. I purchased a low mileage S 2009 model and now just waiting for it to arrive by transport (inter state purchase) ...the grill on mine is the standard S grill - I am looking to upgrade this ASAP to the GT S grill - I have seen a few on Ebay at $1K+ , is there a better source for a GT S grill ? Cheers Jamie

The interior of that QP GT S screams 70s pornographer…

The guys on the production line must've been pleading with management to remove the 'you can have anything if you pay for it' option when they see some of the horrors that have been ordered by people who don't have to worry about resale values

Beige , orange and brown , did they pick those with a colour chart and a dartboard

Found mine at Scuderia but I think prices have risen since then plus the postage and tax will push the price more unfortunately.

Thanks
I finally purchased one from Scuderia - it was expensive
one question - fitting a GTS grill to an S - do i need to purchase new parking sensor mounts as well as i just read that the grill mounts for the sensors on my S dont fit the GTS grill.
cheers

You can swap the PDC mounts off your old grille onto your new one. Just a couple of screws, the screw holes are on all grilles.

Thanks for the info mate, i read another thread that suggested the mounting on the GTS grill vs S grill was different for the PDC and I was hesitatant to start the job if I didnt have everything required. I cant see why the mounting would be different - although it would add an additional layer of arbitrary italian complexity.

It’s a tricky job. Getting the gasket on being the most difficult. Some glue to stop it coming off in the corners helps.

When I was in New Zealand you should have seen some of the interiors ordered by Chinese customers that was an eye opener.

My understanding was that you can attach the sensor mountings to 81256000 (presumably it has screw holes), but you cannot (readily) attach the sensor mountings to 81255800 (unless, presumably, you drill some holes or something).

The mountings themselves are almost the cheapest Maserati part you can buy - almost worth getting new ones just for the pleasure of buying and fitting such a cheap part.

You will need 2x new sensor mounts. Parts are 081256100 and 081256200. The S is convex and so the mount is shaped differently.

Wrong shape. Convex grille on the S v concave gts.

Thanks so much for the part numbers - now I am clear., Cheers
