i would just like to say i have the same as you, mine however is blu sera, dark blue, the first think with your particular model it is an in between car the series 1 ghibli had a distributor not coil packs, the snout on the throttle body comes out on an angle not straight, the wheels are merak style wheels, not the ones you have, your car benefited from some of the ghibli abs parts but not the abs. another point Evoluzione forgot to mention, the suspension and rear diff is different, you have a ranger 3.31 ratio diff the ghibli gt has a ferrari diff with a different ratio, the ghibli gt also has a whole different rear end (underneath) than your car.
converting your car to look like a gt also presents a few issues, i have done this. the new front badge in the chrome oval will not fit in your plastic front grill as the cut out is different, you will need to modify this, the black look headlights are rare and expensive to buy the gt bonnet vents will go straight in, on the rear i had my boot all debaged and repainted, your wheels are 5 X106pcd, the ghibli gt wheels are 5 X 108pcd. you can offset this by the use of wobbly bolts, these can offset up to 2mm. if you get these you can put ghibli gt wheels on your car

All I need to do now is to attach the damper, anti-roll bar bracket and fit the handbrake mechanism to complete the task. I'll be putting that on hold because I must now attend to the small matter of getting the car to start.
