Maserati GTS carbon fibre paddles

[phills1]

Can those who have the carbon fibre paddles on the the facelift 4.7 Granturmsio Sport model post a picture please. I want to replace my standard one with the carbon ones, but looking at formula dynamics etc. They seem to vary slightly in design. Would like to see what the offical Maserati offical ones look like.

I was not aware that the paddle options changed with the facelift other than the 4.7 auto getting the larger paddles from the 4.7 MC as standard.

Really, nobody out there has them on the facelift car?

I have these on MC if it helps. not a very good picture im afraid, I would go and take a better one, but unfortunately my car is having yet another rest at Lancasters...

Quite fancy those, but I expect they are silly costly

Those are mine. They seem a bit longer / slimmer than Neil's? They are part of the MC Sportline Carbon Pack.
I think Bigbob is right- they don't change with the facelift.

I absolutely love them. Easy to use and see behind the wheel (which would overpower smaller one) and feel great.

I need a chunky steering wheel .... Just not at 2 grand

Indeed. I suspect the paddles will be about the same

Emblem quoted me £1343.65 + Vat for the carbon Mc Shift paddles and £667.59 for the Trofeo larger style paddle. I think I may go for the Trofeo ones later in the year as my paddle envy grows greater when looking at these pictures. The price were for parts only but I cannot imagine it taking more than an hour to install .

Well out of any range I'd consider

I do like all of these carbon bits but to retro fit them is such an expensive business, but I would be happy for a car to come with them already

Agree with you Stuart - they cost too much individually. I am hoping that if I decide to part with my car that the unique bits will help it sell. I would have thought that your exhaust will certainly help yours!

Thanks guys I do have the massive paddles on my facelift car but they are in the standard finish. Maserati official comedy price are 1343.65+VAT.

However, even searching in google for aftermarket ones that match come in at the same price. FD and there are a few others in google if you look. You can get vents and everything in the plain black plastic replaced with the great carbon finish.

What Vents would you change?

Wow - that whole lot must come in it £20k, it makes Maserati equipment look cheap!

Agree that would look nice...
Why don't you ask Phils mate to just get your car in a forklift and dip the whole lot!

 

[iainw]

Seriously though - I agree its over priced. Might be worth getting bits individually dipped?

 

[iainw]

Or you can buy mine for 70k. It would be worth it in parts alone
