    How much on average should one budget on maintaining their Maserati

    What you drinking now?

    Ah...so that's why the deliveries took so long! They had to re-print the box with the Award on it. Mine arrived a few days ago, but unfortunately I'm not there the sample it now :rolleyes:

    Oil and fuel. Thoughts and opinions

    The fuel thing has obviously been debated to death on every car forum ever. My 2p is that pretty much ever since Tesco brought out 99, I've used it in all my cars whenever I can. For me, its best bang for buck. Before the Maserati I was always into tuned, forced induction, Japanese cars. I drive...

    Is it possible to fit a Maserati gt sport 4.7 with an mc stradale fender and side skirt?

    What Zep says. Also, read his linked thread, as you'll see that to fit the rear bumper, you'll need to alter the boot/battery floor to accommodate the Stradale exhaust.

    Granturismo Skyhook removal

    As zep says, totally interchangeable. There was post on piston heads years ago where someone replaced all of theirs with the MC / stradale.

    Another Bearings / Battery / Christmas Tree Thread

    Just something I've noticed on the pics of all these Chinese ones, is where the cable goes to the sensor doesn't seem to be 'heat shrunk' properly. So just make sure that's done or it's well taped if you don't have heatshrink.

    Good to hear. They are my nearest specialist, but never used them myself. Always hear good things about them though.

    Another Bearings / Battery / Christmas Tree Thread

    I've changed a front and a rear on my GT in the last year. The front is a pretty straight forward job, so I took a punt on a pattern part as if it failed early, I'd happily change it again without too much hassle. Not a £100 part straight from China, but a 350ish from the UK (probably from China...

    Neptune wheel colour code

    As was mentioned earlier, there's a good chance they've been refurbed/painted at some time in their life, so the chance of them being exact factory colour reduces. Also, none of the centre caps ever match the wheel colour exactly anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much.
