Queue the ES haters...!
There when you need them though.....
They were delivered within 19 hours of ordering, 5x cheaper than 4 other companies I tried, most of which didn't have them in stock anyway.
Credit where credit is due....... Just wait for the bushes to fail and I'm back on here sulking in due course.

What a superb plate!Did you sell the plate separate? No I wont be unwrapping it anytime soon, it's metallic blue underneath, all my cars have been/are blue but I don't think it suits the GTS as well. I appreciate the wrap is OTT but I haven't paid extra for it (from the comparisons I did anyway) and I believe it's a big job removing it anyway. My other current car is a 525bhp Impreza. Is there a popular way of getting another 100bhp out of these without compromising reliability as in all honesty even in Sport MC shift mode it feels like I'm towing a caravan. I've considered going back to 20" alloys but that wouldn't help massively.

To be honest after a 525bhp Impreza, many cars simply feel slow. I have the same experience with a Porsche 911 Turbo. Very few cars can touch the stomach-churning push-into-the-back-of-the-seat experience of a 911 Turbo. Mine is 450bhp. The new ones are nudging 600bhp.

The Maser is more a touring car.
Enjoy it as a different experience. Put a sticker in the rear window like "My other car's a tuned Impreza"

I'm so glad the Maserati community loves a Scooby, I'm told by the Mrs I'm a sad chavy tw@t who needs to grow up - it's great to know I'm not alone!
