A French member did remanufacture them but quality was an issue.
Nothing since.

Quality of the moulding and fitment was very good, it was the finishing lacquer that was not so good, however these were refinished in the UK before being posted out.
I have one on the back of mine and still very happy.

Interesting , something i will pursue then, i would like a rear boot spoiler and the bottom front splitter in carbon fibre similar to the MC Victory i think it would really suit the med blue , do you happen to have your old one , i could borrow for a few weeks to take to a workshop to see if they can mould a casting plug , ill pop along to redbull workshops

Sorry no old one, it never had one in the first place, being the 4200 not the GS.

Hello guys. Boot spoiler, Formula Dynamics in Las Vegas had that for sale one or two years ago (I am talking about the one that you would glue to the edge of the rear hatch). Strangely enough, it was not advertised on their website. One had two options, carbon fiber and fiberglass (unpainted). I did not buy simply because where I live in Canada the speed limit is 100 km/hr and police is everywhere, I did not think a spoiler would make a difference except maybe esthetically.

Front splitter - I had a post about this, unfortunately no luck. Ferrari Maserati of Ontario had one a few months ago and wanted the world for it. If you or someone else manages to make this splitter I am interested.

Loz - the genuine Maserati GS 'carbon' rear spoiler is made from a standard ABS spoiler with a single layer of carbon over the top of it. It's therefore heavier than a standard spoiler, which seems a little pointless. On that basis I'd have the standard spoiler either wrapped or hydro-dipped to achieve the same look.

I think I have one still in my garage in Northants, I can have a look when I am finally allowed to travel further than 5 miles!

I was going to do this before I got distracted by moving to Wales, we were going to use the front splitter on my MCV as the template and make some spares with the blue weave and some in 'normal' carbon fibre. Dave King at Project 12 was going to do them for me.

Sounds like a plan to me. We are still only allowed 5 miles from home here in Wales apart from essentials like food shopping etc.

I am more than happy to help out with this where ever possible. I know a few people that could make parts etc if required, and not stepping on toes etc. Im hoping to get some carbon paddles made, as per the FD ones, by the end of the year.

Thanks will keep that in mind. How about copying the MCV paddles?

Can confirm - have genuine spoiler.

Happy to lend out my paddles to someone when i go away with work for a couple of weeks, on the proviso that if they are damaged at all i get proper replacements.

This has got me thinking, think carbon rear spoiler would go well with the Grigio Alfieri paintwork, so might have to whip it off and get my chap to hydro dip it. More needless expenditure! Lol.
