612 Scaglietti Chrome Grille inserts

Alex- Have not had that problem, but I would glue them on if it were mine. Use a light coat of epoxy to fasten. Grab all of the trim pieces and see if you can pull them loose. Glue all those that come loose and keep pulling in the future. If you lose one of those little pieces it may be impossible to find anything but a complete replacement grille.

Some owners of 456/Ms have noted a similar problem. Luckily, the 612 has about the cheapest grille I have seen at $600-700.

I have also had the same problem. ...ended up purchasing a used grill for its metal pieces. Used the black rubber glue to hold them in place. Konstantinos

It is Eurospares (...hate that autocorrect function!)

 

I had the exact same problem with my 612. The chrome strips are poorly glued on and one of mine fell off. If your car is still under warranty then have them fit a complete new grille. That is what I had done. The dealer said that there could be a problem with some 612 grilles. Now that other 612 owners are complaining of similar problems it is very clear there is a 'real' problem with the 612 grille.

 

Yesterday I was buffing a bit of wax off the front bumper of my 41,000 mile '05 and had this same experience, a faint clinking sound followed with the discovery of a shiny piece of grille trim lying on the floor. I discovered that there was another piece about to come off, and four more are missing! I just bought this car about two weeks ago, so we are still getting to know each other. My thoughts roamed to the memory of all the '50s and '60s garden variety American cars with die cast grilles, and wondered how in good conscience a car costing one hundred times as much as these could fall short of that Detroit assembly-line level of quality in its materials. I guess the car is trying to show me who's boss, as if there were ever any question.

 

Go to the local craft store, Hobby Lobby or Michaels etc.. and look in their DIY jewelry section, you will find rolls of 'Silver', Chrome or Polished Aluminum wire. If you have the broken piece take it in and find the correct gauge. Cut it and glue it in. That is how I solved my problem.

Cheers!

 

I had the same issue. I fixed it by creating aluminium tubes at an alloy company. I sold quiet a lot to some Ferrari dealers!

I still have some tubes, so if you are interested please send me a message

I found a metal shop. They made for me aluminium tubes. I cutted them myself on length and polished it.<br />I placed the cutted tubes in the grille. See the before and after pictures for the result. I am very satisfied.<br />

I bought these on Amazon for about $8.00. Easy to cut to size and glue on. Took me about 10 minutes to replace 3. Can't tell which ones were replaced.
