Oh dear - it has new Pirelli P Zero tyres. So worthless and undriveable to many on here....

LOL. Nothing wrong with P Zeros April/May through October but personally I prefer Conti SC3s. Will try Michelin PS4s next as many seem to recommend them. My car is currently on SottoZeros - brilliant tyre at this time of year - and I noticed so is the Alfa V8 saloon that Dicky has for sale.

Someone's spent a lot of money bringing that car up to it’s current spec. It’s, um, very personal.

I actually liked it till I ventured inside.
I was of the same opinion. Have the bonnet wrapped in the same blue and remove some of the custom bits back to standard. Then I saw the interior WTF was he thinking?

The only think in his defence is he obviously loves the car as he’s spent heavy on it.

Agreed, quite fetching outside with an interior like a child’s bedroom.

Thread title …. "Pimped".
Car described as having "kerb appeal".

What forum have I logged in to? :redface:

This was up for sale around this time last year but for around £38k.. same pictures used. Maserati's are hard enough to sell, never mind a wrapped one.

Yeah, but if you had it, then people will ask you if you are a footballer, apparently. There could be no higher accolade, of course.

Chrome wraps don't appeal to me and my first thought is that it's quite ghastly, but like it or not a lot of effort has gone into the interior so what if the body was re-wrapped/coloured in Gulf racing colours? OK it's not a Porsche, but as a sort of tribute car it might work, or do I need another coffee to wake up?

Coffee. It's the interior that does for it. A deeper 'MC' blue inside would have been a bit more tolerable. Sort of an MC12 tribute.

Yes, that too and it certainly makes more sense for a Mas. It just needs a bit of lateral thought to make it work.
