Got my maserati back

[Cardiff]

Well some work has been done on my maserati so thought i would post some pics of it. I wanted aftermarket wheels but they were silly money and saw it as a waste. Any way I have meshed the front grille

Now









Wheels and calipers before







Now the sparkle/metallic look is only seen in the sunlight and under my camera's flash!)

Looks fantastic Cardiff, really does!!

See you've got plated from Eurotag!! I had some on my GT2, got pulled and fined several times and also had a letter from Swansea stating if I persisted, I'd lose my plate!! ers!! Be careful pal, there's some jobsworth coppers in and around Cardiff!!

thanks gus, hopefully i wont get trouble from the cops!

2DOGS, i dont like black wheels, these are just a very dark grey lol! I actually was going to do the a grey chrome (sounds awful but is just like dark poilshed) but it looked awful so i let my mate in the bodyshop choose the brake and wheel colours, its darker than i would have gone but do like it so am happy.

pvapour, thats what i was trying to do, just make it look a bit more modern.

Nice.

I can see why you wanted to change the look of your rims.
They used to look like car boot wheel trims. The dark grey with flake improves them a million times over.

[gareth_t]

looks great to me!

Love the wheel finish - where did you get them done? Do they look just as good close up?I'm assuming they are painted not powder-coated?

[Allblackdup]

I like both the wheels and grille mods Ben, but in my opinion, i don't think they work together. Black wheels, black grille. Silver wheels, silver grille - which i know you would've done had you bought the aftermarket wheels.

Looks awesome Ben, and sounds stunning, but i think you were still jealous of my P52-6000 Digital Dashboard tonight

[Cardiff]

that dash is amazing mate, so futuristic lol! The wheels are painted and look better in the flesh, custom rides did them.

Just spoke to Austin at Custom Wheels, he sounds a really enthusiastic guy.

I'm undecided whether I should get new CSL wheels and tyres and sell the old ones, or get my existing ones refurbed. I'll pop in and have a chat with him at some point.

[Cardiff]

he is only young but loves what he does and loves doing any type of work, accident repairs or custom front end conversions! He is the best in wales i promise you

[Chugger]

I like being proved wrong, they look very nice, well done!

[AR]

I think the wheels need to be more like the GS colour, and the grille black.

But it still looks goods.

Cheers,

Looks fantastic. Is that mesh the stuff from that company Long..something. I was looking at it the other day wondering if I could adapt it for the Mustang. How did you attach it at the back or is it custom- fit?

The wheels look great on the silver and I'd be tempted to put something similar on the Mustang if I didn't have so much in the existing wheels (well, thew two I've still got anyway...).

Just seen yet another Maserati in Cardiff, this time a gunmetal one on North Road. Ubiquitous or what? (posh word for common...he he). So to recap, that's two silver, one yellow, two blue and one gunmetal. You can hold an owner's club meeting quite easily.

ticked that box then

was going to sell mine but you got me thinking about keeping with it and doing some more mods

where did you get the grille?

am thinking of paying LeoNardo a visit in germany for a set of wheels and a remap, seems they have some nice 'non bling' wheels...

Are they HRE wheels do you know?

these look quite nice, love dark centre with polished rim look but not sure if it goes with a Med blue car



LeoNardo ones I know will suit though.....
