Can any other MC20 owners confirm if they have the same bolt looking item hanging down underneath the car? The photo is taken from the front looking to the rear. Can’t think of what its purpose could be, except to be ripped off on a speed bump!109950109951

That's Bizarre and should have been picked up during PDI.
No way is that right and needs looking at.

Take this with a pinch of salt, I’ve only been to 4 car factories, but looks like an alignment rod has been left after the car was built. By the way, are those aerofoils riveted on? They look a bit uneven/wiggly. Aren’t they usually moulded into the bodywork?

Surely a pdi includes putting it up in the air in which case that should have been picked up. I would be giving the dealer a real kicking right about now.

Absolutely and having worked for several manufacturers Maserati were the only one that give you a really good time for doing a thorough PDI and you would be amazed at what we would find too.
There's a real importance to it after manufacture, shipping and transportation to the Dealership.

They spent around a week on PDI, although it does look like something that shouldn’t be there for real world driving. Will have to go to dealer but wondering any other owners have the same or not?
