    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Fixed my broken switch panel and removed all the sticky **** from it for the time being atleast. Also removed the sticky from the overhead light consoles, rear seat pull down console, hvac controls, glovebox and buttons that used to reside by the original NIT

Will prob go for continental sport contact 7 as I have a general dislike for Michelin PS4S 2. MOT 3. Registration 4. Post purchase inspection and service at an independent...

    And so to loop back to the title of this thread. I found the buttons. They work. Not ideal if I’m brutally honest as it’s a bit of a reach across but atleast they are there! Unfortunately this car suffers from the standard Ferrari/Maserati period correct sticky button syndrome. Pretty much every...

    I’m not bothering to convert the tach and odometer. Mainly to keep it original and keep the mileage consistent. My MOT station will record the mileage correctly in KM. I’ve driven so many imported cars that I know the speed conversions anyway! In a nut shell I would say yes this has cost me less...

    So I got a few pre shipping photos of the car and I am still no closer to solving the mystery of where the buttons around the stereo have gone! I believe the original stereo was a Bose unit. This new unit is some sort of pioneer carrozeria. I highly doubt it has the functionality built in for...

    No it wasnt that one. I did bid on that about 6 weeks ago though. Its had some paint work in the last few weeks. It was a white one with red/black interior. Ill upload some pics. Atleast the stereo in the car you pictured has kept some of the buttons on the sides. You will see what I mean from...

    Hey everyone, first time poster and soon-to-be owner of a white 2012 QP Sport GTS. Car is currently awaiting export from Japan. I am sure I will have a number of questions when it arrives but at the moment, the most pertinent question I have (having not seen the car yet in person) is regarding...
