CF paddles

[CatmanV2]

Hi all

Are the CF MC-S paddles compatible with the base GT?

Cheers

And of those on a GS/4200?

 

[Wanderer]

Will they make the car lighter and shave a second off the 0-60?

Almost certainly not

Don't care, but they look better and they are *longer*

I prefer the look of the originals

 

[Wanderer]

I can't think of any after-market Maserati mod that looks better than the original.

 

[Triggerfish]

There's not many, thats for sure! Aftermarket wheels.....don't get me started!

100% agreed. There are 3 things that I would change on a stock facelift 4200.

One is the FD CF paddles....done.

Two is the OEM 4200 CF steering wheel....done

Three.....GS seats.....still waiting!

Well I'd probably only use the GTS ones, which I'd prefer. CF wheel (per the options list as wel) would be nice too

There's quite a few Maserati options I'd tick, just not a fan of much of the aftermarket stuff....then again, I'm not a pimp!

I can think of two...and both are fitted to my 100% original car...

Maverick's Metal Foot Pedals and Sprogs Stainless Steel Wheel bolts...

Correction three though technically aftermarket...

Part No: 82364606 instead of Part No: 189953. Plus they were cheaper and metal instead of plastic...

I got a set of the proper Maser ali pedals, second hand, cost me about 30 quid all told (was part of a deal with other stuff) plus I still have the original accelerator and brake mechs.

Very subdued and not tacky like the aftermarket ones I’ve seen.

Plus they add 50bhp to the car and trim a second off the 0-60, honest!

Mine are made by named individuals so i get 1.1 off the 0-60 and 55bhp extra...‍

 

[Triggerfish]

Mine came with ali pedals as standard. Can't think how you could upgrade them. Look better than the optional MC ones too!

Btw, I always drive the car wearing steel toecap boots....these add an equivalent of 60bhp without directly modifying the car

Now when I get in mine I shift weight to the centre of the car, lestening the shear to the front and rear and therefore improving the handling, who needs mods!

Who needs mods? I’ll get my coat....

How did you replace the paddles, do you have to turn the steering wheel a half turn for access...

 

[Navcorr]

Cowlings off for starters but whether you could get as the paddle screws with the wheel in place - not sure.
The cruise control retro fitting guide would be worth looking at.

Thanks Neil,
Found this on maserati life, just intrsted how Dean did it, but as I suspect he did wheel at same time, he would have used the method in your link..
