Subtle mods that all come together to bring it right up to date. Any vids of the noise?

Fred, looks great!

 

I did consider getting one too, funnily enough, swapping my c63 estate for one but might do something different...retro merc is something i'd love to do again, miss my classic merc!

 

reading those service costs...i remember now why I ruled it out lol

Very nice indeed. Loving a bit of shiny stealth. What are the running costs like?

 

Off topic a wee bit - I've always fancied a 190E, preferably a 2.6. Did you have a good experience with it?

 

Cheers

 

One of the companies I worked for had a 190E as a pool car (it had belonged to the chairman). I can't remember what engine it had (probably only 2.0 litre and auto so not that quick), but it got utterly thrashed as pool cars do and was as dependable as anything even though it had gone twice around the clock - and super comfy.

Chris I don't have any sorry but it's been straigt piped piped and resonator deleted, no back boxes but a silencer added further down. Quite common to straight pipe these. It sounds nuts! Too loud for a standard GT but with the blacked out look going on it suits the evil theme. Great taste Harry 😉

Are they Maserati parts you've fitted or aftermarket? (ducktail spoiler and rear diffuser)

Fibreglass spoiler based on MC Stradale OEM part, niot a bad fit, I gun painted myself and fitted with tigerseal.

 

The MC Stradale diffuser is around £1600 though, So I bought some aftermarket fins and shaped them to the bumper, bumper off jobbie and painted the fins matt black to go with the lower bumper section :) You'd never know, it looks like a 1 piece diffuser.

 

Cheers tibby
