Maserati part no 67611500 , the upper fixing blocks for the front grille , mine being a little chewed up, may suit 4200/GS not sure,

Wide Plastic Grommet for Mounting Trims, Fiat 7754387

These clips are very widely used on Fiat and Alfa Romeo cars and commercial vehicles. The clip is a simple grommet but is oblong which allows for some choice of locating position when fitting. The fastener fits into a hole measuring 14mm x 8mm. These are typically used in the bodywork to mount...

That is handy Lozzer cheers!

The mounting points do look similar...

I have a pair like those in the left picture if you want to test fit them or hold them up to yours. If they fit then the larger gts etc will fit as just replaced mine for mc grancab versions.

Thanks for the kind offer, I sold the 4200 though sadly. Slight change in circumstances!

Doh sorry. Didn't look at the post date..

Does anyone know replacement parts for the yellow trim clips, and boot carpet clips? Xmas tree style ones? Or just order them straight from dealer?

 

[conaero]

Yes straight from dealer. Order 10, they are handy to hold them.

Cheers Matt, will do

Order the Ferrari ones as they are 1/2 the price (or were)

Great source of info and tips - thanks to COVID-19 constraints I spent this morning wading through all 42 pages and taking notes. Only recently bought my 4200 and has a few bumps and knocks when driving on local roads so have just bitten bullet and ordered replacement lower control arms (pattern parts) plus front upper ball joints and FD DWB Unit. From a couple of hours reading I now know good alternatives for one or two other bits I my need as well.

Has anyone tried the GranTurismo transmission mount (196865) in place of the Engine and Transmission mounts? Unlike the latter two, its readily available, looks extremely similar and is noticeably cheaper.

196865 GranTurismo Transmission mount: 100 GBP
186351/225839 4200 Engine Mount: 161 GBP
186908 4200 Transmission Mount: 426 GBP

Eurospares redirects the 4200 engine mount to the Quattroporte one, however it looks a slightly different (metal plate on top) while the GranTurismo transmission mount looks almost the same.

Also want to know if the upper front and rear wishbone bushings (186493, 186496) are interchangeable with each other.

I’ve heard that there are alternative parts for the 3200 drop links and boot light. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Search for droplink it’s about the 4th one down. Not sure about the boot light, but I’d bet it was an Alfa 166 part. Got a pic?

If by boot light you mean exterior , Fiat Cinquecento ones fit.

Go back through this thread and search as well; someone did excellent work on these in the last year.

Those track rod ends listed are my brothers.
They are Not genuine Maserati but are genuine TRW who make the original.
The super performance ones are not genuine or TRW.

Literally just ordered the superformance parts thinking they are the same. If only you’d have replied an hour or two earlier.

There’s also a Delphi part that fits that a third of the OEM TRW unit which someone fitted in another thread.
