Very nice, I really want to add the few additional carbon bits to mine defuser fins and replace my matt black side skirts with carbon ones to match the remainder of the car. I have the same wheels on mine but I really can't come round to them personally... So they maybe switched up.

I think they suit some colours better than others - I thought they looked awful on the black and white cars I saw. But they work on this to my eyes.

The carbon sills are very nice (I like the sills darker - gives the waist a bit of a pinched look). If the diffuser's expensive I probably wouldn't bother.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments.

Great looking car..but then I am biased I suppose.

Each defuser fin is >500 GBP each so always check they are all present

How much.....Bloody ****...........That is just not worth it surely..........I bet you could get them made loads cheaper than that.....They do look good though.

Agreed, a crazy price!

Some of the prices Maserati charge for parts is just silly....They always have been over priced.....and you can say that its a 100k super-car and comes with prices to match but that's just an excuse to charge higher prices.

There's a carbon fabrication shop in Colchester where my eldest did some work experience: http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/home.php?mobile=no

They do a lot of work for fairly exotic manufacturers, racing teams and so on, lots of it one-off. Might be worth a shout if you do want some good quality carbon work done without pandering to Maserati's comedy prices.

Oh cool, if I can get an extact match I may get the fins made thank you. Must get a summer 'Essex' Maserati meet I'm sure theres a few of us here and there must be some good roads round here apart for the boaring A road to Colchester!

Not sure but if you speak to Spartacus he may be able to 3d model what you require which reverie can then use to make your fins from reading their site, or from a drawing which he may also be able to help with.

Nope - it looks quite nice stuff, but perhaps a bit too black to match the Maserati made stuff?

(Reverie make a lot of Caterham parts. They never used to be cheap - again, decent enough stuff, but expensive).

I would say the front diffuser fins would probably cost you the same amount to get made independently as the originals. The shape is quite complex it is not just a flat piece of carbon fixed to the front bumper.
