My slightly modded 3200 maserati

[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



Before





Now









Wheels and calipers before







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









and a sound clip of the new exhaust for fun! this is just new back boxes but having the rest re done to make less restrictive and louder a week monday

Cool car! Where did you get your Italian Plates from? They really set the car off! I'd love a pair for my maser!

If I'm not mistaken, they're from www.eutags.com

Be careful though, plod doesn't like them!!

I like the grill. Good chrome on the trident and surrond - did you get that re-done or is it original and just very well looked after?

i'm liking the chrome grille and the wheels too! those are some tasteful mods IMO, which don't upset the look of the car or push the boundaries of taste and decency to truly silly levels!

thanks guys, the mesh was from e bay, VERY thick and hard to work with though. The grille is original think the brighter mesh makes it look ceeaner but it was cleaned as it took the old mesh off first

Lovely car mate!

Did you by anychance used to be a skyline owner?

[stevenM]

looks very well

my calipers are black - where yours also black? if so, did you remove the calipers to paint them red and how did you handle the maserati logo (stickers or painted)?

cheers
steven

That does look good. When I saw "modded" and "3200" my heart sank. Phew!

You want to make it louder??? It sounds pretty good as it is!

You can get a stainless mesh from posturt tuning in Germany. Check my profile pic! They used to sell them on ebay and beleive it or not I got mine for 1 euro! (+ £15 p&p) dont know if they still do though. I have also had some custom matching stainless grilles made for the front spoiler intakes. If the sun ever decides to reappear this summer I'll update my profile pic to show these also.
I addition to the grille I also got a second trident badge from ebay and colour coded to the body work, keeping the original chrome one for if I decide to sell at some point.

yes i used to own 3 skylines! still a jap car lover deep down! the mesh can be brought from e bay bit is very thick and will need an andgle grinder to cut! and the calipers, my friend owns a custom bodyshop and did them, think he just used a gun to spray them got new stickers made up then laquered over them

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

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?

]do you know of any uk firms that can accomodat the Maserati for aftermarket wheels? Elite wheels or such like?

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.....

Nice motor.

I may daydream in this forum for the morning.

[shadowninja]

Bloody hell! That is nice.

[spydersingh]

Wow! that dark blue spyder looks dead cool! has it been lowered or are the wheels bigger? who sells leonardo wheels in the UK or is an import jobby?

Edited to say that I found the website of the LeoNardo wheels/kits...its

I met a guy with a Nova with that finish on his wheels - they sparkled in the sun and put a smile on my face
