- Airflow Management: Allows cooling air to pass through to the radiator, intercooler, and other heat exchangers, which is vital for maintaining optimal engine and transmission operating temperatures.
- Protection: Provides a protective barrier for the radiator and other delicate components against larger road debris (e.g., stones, leaves, small animals).
- Sensor Integration: May incorporate provisions or mounting points for various front-facing sensors (e.g., for adaptive cruise control, parking sensors if centrally located).

The Radiator Grille Front, identified by Maserati Part Number 670011097, is undeniably one of the most distinctive and emblematic features of your Maserati Ghibli. More than just a functional component, this front grille assembly is the iconic face of your vehicle, instantly recognizable and a testament to Maserati’s unparalleled design language and heritage.
Aesthetically, the grille, with its signature Trident emblem and characteristic vertical or horizontal bars, defines the Ghibli’s aggressive yet elegant presence. It is the focal point of the front fascia, communicating the vehicle’s luxury, power, and Italian flair. Beyond its visual impact, the grille performs vital functional roles. Its open design allows critical cooling air to flow efficiently through to the radiator and other heat exchangers positioned behind it. This airflow is essential for maintaining optimal operating temperatures for the engine and transmission, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent performance, especially in demanding driving conditions. Furthermore, the grille acts as a crucial protective barrier, shielding sensitive components like the radiator fins from damage caused by larger road debris, stones, or other hazards encountered during driving.
Given its prominent front-end location, the radiator grille is highly susceptible to various forms of damage:
- Collision Damage: Even minor frontal impacts or parking mishaps can cause cracks, broken slats, deformation of the frame, or detachment of the emblem. This is a very common reason for replacement.
- Impact from Road Debris: High-speed impacts from stones, gravel, or other foreign objects can chip the chrome, scratch the painted finish, or even break through the grille mesh.
- Environmental Degradation: Prolonged exposure to sunlight (UV radiation), harsh weather, and road chemicals can cause the finish to fade, peel, or become dull over time, diminishing the grille’s visual appeal.
- Mounting Tab Breakage: Vibrations or impacts can cause the plastic mounting tabs that secure the grille to the bumper or frame to break, leading to a loose or rattling fit.
Symptoms of a damaged radiator grille include visible cracks, missing slats, a loose or rattling fit, dull or peeling chrome, or a detached Maserati emblem. While typically not affecting the vehicle’s drivability directly, a compromised grille significantly detracts from the Ghibli’s sophisticated appearance and can compromise its cooling efficiency or protection. Replacement involves carefully detaching the old grille from the front bumper assembly and securely installing the new unit, ensuring proper alignment and a flush fit.
For your Maserati Ghibli, ensuring the integrity and pristine condition of the Radiator Grille Front (Part Number 670011097) is paramount for maintaining its iconic styling, effective engine cooling, and overall premium presence. Replacing a worn or damaged grille with a genuine Maserati part helps preserve the striking aesthetic and uncompromising quality expected of your Italian luxury sport sedan.
