    2019 Seat Ibiza for sale

    My son is selling his Seat Ibiza and it's such a nice car that I'd like to see it go to a good home, so thought I'd offer it on the forum first. It's the manual FR model which is a 1 litre turbo with 115HP. It's really peppy, drives beautifully and typically returns 50-55mpg. Bought from new...

    Granturismo CNC seat levers

    Just fitted first prototype CNC seat lever to my GTS. MUCH nicer than nasty plastic original that kept breaking. I need to amend the script to be the proper Maserati font but I've just sourced a wireframe for that. Any interest from anyone on the forum?

However, the voice quality on Bluetooth for telephone conversations is very poor - people on the other end complain that they can't hear me or that it is breaking up. Is this...

    First time Maserati owner - GT S

    Hi all Just purchased my first Maserati - a 2013 Granturismo S in black. I was concerned before I bought it that I might be making a mistake as the 2011 Jag XFR I was trading in was more powerful, more practical and undoubtedly cheaper to run. But I've had the GT for 4 days now and I haven't...
