Carbon door caps

[sionie1]

Has anyone had these fitted to their Grancabrio or GT? There appear to be 2 options ,1 is inset into the door card and the other sits on the top. From what I understand both have the same part number so it’s just down to the fitting, at least that’s according to FD.

Yes, mine were swapped out from the factory supplied Nero Soft to a carbon set that came s/h from a dismantled Stradale @ Eurospares.
Of the whole interior carbon kit, these pieces are definitely the hardest to fit as you need to remove the door card & work around the door air bag and be super careful.
I can't say first hand as AV did it for me when it was in for service. The end result is fabulous though, they really lift the interior and you get a very satisfying reflection of the carbon weave in the side window when you look across to your right, well worth the upgrade

Thanks Stuart, so yours originally had the cut out type of door cards (1st photo)? Mine doesn’t unfortunately so I can either risk the purchase and try fitting as is, or pay £1600 per door card from Maserati

Yes, mine are per your photo 1 - I am guessing that in photo 2, maybe the carbon piece has simply been glued on top of the existing trim piece rather than it being replaced as I believe that all of the trim pieces were flush fit rather than raised as in photo 2?

I might just take a punt and order them. See how they fit. Without seeing in the flesh I’m unsure of which look I prefer.

Would it not be cheaper and easier to carbon skin your originals ?

Don’t have any inserts just plain door tops
