Hi all (first post here..!), I have been looking at front disc prices for my 2015 Granturismo Sport and think I have spotted that the Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio uses the same set. Have a look here:

http://shop.alfisti.net/Tuning-Styl...-Quadrifoglio-Brake-Disc-Set-Front::9088.html
490 Euros for the pair...

Might be a suitable alternative as they look to use the same 6 pot Brembos as well.

Hi
Just to let you know that the brembo (6 pot) front brake discs and pads are common to Maserati GT, QP s & gts, Alfa 8c - trying to find a cheap Brembo alternative is like the holy grail. An eye watering £450 or so per disc alone!

Having seen what extortionate prices Maserati are charging for windscreen wipers I went to my local Euro Car Parts who said "these will fit". "These" being Bosch SP17 and SP26S.

The fella was spot on. They do fit. And only cost £20 for the pair!

Fitted them there and then, which is just as well as it's about to p*ss down!

Just found another alternative part bargain - washer jets for the QPV (and probably the Granturismo & Grancabrio). The exact same part was used on the Alfa 156. I ordered a pair from Partsworld UK via eBay for £10 delivered, vs £24.60 for 2x part# 67876200 from Eurospares. Search for Alfa part# 7767818

Not a massive saving, but we don't like the same part being sold under different part#s at inflated prices :)

The inlet rotates to whatever orientation you need, by the way.

We only sell them as a set but you might get someone on here that want to share with you.

Pads, the Apec pads are very good but if you want performance fit Ferrodo DS2500 or EBC Yellows.

The dehydrating filter on the Opel/Vauxhall Zafira B and Astra is the same as the Granturismo. Original part number: 254649
Replacement part numbers:
HELLA 8FT 351 193-361
Denso DFD20017
NRF 33235
Valeo 509949
AVA OLD378
Nissens 95469

And probably a few more. You can search any automative parts site for the Zafira filter and results a plenty. Savings are huge, original part starts at 200 euro's, replacements can be had for 20 euro's.

Is this the cartridge type filter, not the one inside a can? Good find!
