There are a couple of screws at the top that screw into the bumper and 4 or 5 torpedo connectors that need to be pulled out of the bottom, that is straight towards you. See 'A' on the drawing below
Given the age I suspect they will all be very rusty ao use plenty of WD40 first or you will cut your hands to ribbons.

It’s all down to personal choice but imho spraying the grill rim black don’t look good on a Maserati 4200. A re-chrome and a stainless steel mesh from Cabrio-Supplies in Holland looks the testicles.

It is a personal choice but I do like my black grill.
Shows off the proper chromed trident.
In my case the chrome is good underneath the black plastidip, you could say it is protecting it and can be peeled off at anytime.

Black & blue is great combo....at least you can powder coat the metal. The “metalised” plastic of the facelift grill surround has to be wet painted...and boy does it chip easily once painted. As does the mesh ime. 
For me , it’s down to the finish on the rest of the car’s trim...although those grills, if you have to go buy one nos....think of a number, double it, multiply it by three, double it again, and you still get a shock!
