Maserati 4200 tail light conversion?

[boomerkk]

Maserati gurus... wondering if anyone has heard of an LED tail light conversion for the 4200? Or is it not worth asking about?

Apologies if it has been discussed prior...just thinking as I saw some guys converted their Porsche 996s to look just like 997s...sure fooled me as I couldn't tell any different for the life of me.

Mucho gracias

Thats for the 3200 Boomerangs? I think you need rear wings for that as well and the cost is around 5k. However he asked about LED's? Which were never on any 3200/4200 variant.

Struth - no the LED lights on a 3200. Oh, nevermind...

Get both FFS. 4200 for a daily driver, 3200 for the extra-wide grin!

Well just checked eurospares and they are described as LED's, but just the cluster for one side is £920 alone.

http://www.eurospares.co.uk/partsListing.asp?M=3&a...

Then you'd need two rear wings at £920 a piece, then you need to paint and fit plus a few other bits to get it together.

Might be a lot cheaper to find a crash damaged 3200 and swap the parts over?

No, no, no. Don't get a crashed repaired 3200. They are cheap enough now to buy a proper one for a weekend toy! Keep the 4200 standard and buy the 3200 for the weekend. Can't beat the 3200 turbo rush and you'll still have the sound of the 4200 on your daily commute!

Come on, you know it makes sense.

Thanks.... already decided it's not worth it..almost the price of a whole 3200.

Was thinking of a 4200 but finally decided 3200 it is.
