Dear fellow maserati owners and fans,
Wanted a share some photos and small video of my build so far. Full story http://www.zengarage.com.au/2014/07/heasmansteering-maserati/
I've had the following:
- FI Exhaust sports cats
- H&R 22mm and 25mm spacers
- Modified factory suspension into coilovers
- Blacked out grille and badges

Wheels and stereo will be next and some FD goodies!

Appreciate comments and questions.

Stunning; love the look and sound of the car; you've done the justice to the original.

The plates aren't my cup of tea though.

Incredible video, picking mine up on Monday and I hate you for making me significantly more anxious now.

Good mods, and car looks stunning!

Love the colour ;).

thanks for the comments guys definitely wanted to keep the factory look.
exceed- congrats post pics when you pick it up. is it a 4 seater ?
almichie- I'll revert back to my BATM4N plates later. I'll sell the SELFIE plates which I should get decent money for.

BATM4N, please stop posting this sort of thing at once!! I am very much in danger of having to spend a lot of money to follow suit and it will all be your fault!! lol! :)

Joking aside, your car looks just perfect, some very well chosen mods and compliment the car rather than detract from it! Two thumbs up!! :)

Thats just made me want a Strad more. Very good job and well done for not going to mad with the custom detail.

I was stood looking at my Strad the other day thinking that spacers could enhance the stance as the wheels are quite tucked in as standard. Whats the consensus on the H&R spacers? Are there any drawbacks / rubbing issues with them. Don't want to risk stressing other components / wheel bearings etc but do like the look! Thanks
