Seems like an age, 4 weeks away at Dick Lovetts at Swindon. Here is what they did:

Rear brake discs
Rear brake pads
Handbrake shoes and carrier
New rear right hand hub assembly
New antirollbar bushes
New brake fluid
Rear wheel bearing assembly

and to go with the brand new wheels and tyrees:

Painted calipers yellow &
Full alignment












I cannot recommend Dick Lovett Maserati in Swindon enough. Alan in parts (Enzo knows him with his 550 rebuild), Darryl and Paul and Jo in service who where really sympathetic to the age of the car and therfore their charges - really - it was well within Indy territory with both parts and labour - they had the car for 4 weeks but it was worth it. Thank you to all if you are reading this.............................

I'm a big fan of yellow calipers, they look great.
I hope it keeps sunny now it's back as sunglasses must be a standard requirement. laughcoollaugh

It looks great!

May I ask your opinion of the painted calipers? I am thinking of getting this done but have been concerned about the finish. They look great in your photos. Also, if you don't mind sharing what was the cost of painting them?

Thanks

David

I love these wheels - does anyone know what the paint code is?

Thanks for the +'ve feedback guys!

The Maserati dealer subcontracted the painting/oven baking of the calipers. They are an option when configuring a new QP and so they used that factory paint.

The wheels are brand new OEM Maserati 20" Shadow Chrome - again you can see these on the Maserati website when you configure a new QP. I am guessing any dealer will have the paint code.

Cheers

Marc

Thanks Marc. I asked the dealer and they couldn't (or wouldn't!) tell me so was half hoping they'd have mentioned it to you. frown
