Matt156c 1st Gear January 1, 2011 Share January 1, 2011 Oh is it? Just the same I'll still go to AS and make some noise I did had an accident in my 156 and a new bonnet was install by Peter. The workmanship was not too bad but def not factory standard. It is good to know who Peter send yr car to during the respray and speak to the shop. You can actually topup from yr pocket to have the paint done "better" and have more lacquers layers. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorjiam 1st Gear January 1, 2011 Share January 1, 2011 I was at Grand Copthrone Waterfront and decided to go down the carpark to see if there was a Maserati in Blu Oceano. And there was! So I managed to show my wife the REAL DEAL. And she now wonders if the colour is too dark.. and actually feels that the blue I have is actually ok! WTF.... Oh ya, nowadays, everytime I refuel the car, there is this very strong petrol smell in the cabin. After I drive off then it is of no more. Normal days will not have the petrol smell. I wonder if it is the door seal that is leaking or somewhere else in the fuel tank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic January 1, 2011 Share January 1, 2011 I've had my car for 2 weeks now. Checked my tyre pressure and was shocked to find that the front right tyre had only 146kpa while the other 3 has 190 to 196kpa. Looks like EA did not check for me when they handed the car over :angry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one should be normal.. Sometimes your parking brake did not fully let go after you let off the handbrake. You can monitor to see if it happens again. If it did, just try to park without parking brake (put into gear 1 or something instead) for a night or 2 and see if it is still there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topgun Neutral Newbie January 1, 2011 Share January 1, 2011 (edited) I did had an accident in my 156 and a new bonnet was install by Peter. The workmanship was not too bad but def not factory standard. It is good to know who Peter send yr car to during the respray and speak to the shop. You can actually topup from yr pocket to have the paint done "better" and have more lacquers layers. My expectation is the paintwork should be a 'reasonable' standard. If factory job is a base coat and 3 'layer' or say 0.6mm of actual pant coat (I really don't kow but just use example lah) then 'outside' workshop is 2 layers and 0.5mm and charges betw 200 to 300 (just for discussion sake) so as long as I'm within that 'reasonableness' range, I'm OK. No way workshops outside can replicate factory standard work, cos the car body is in a clean room and goes 'swimming' in a tank for base coat and other layers then sprayed by robots controlled by computers!

Just happened that your rear brake pads are sticky. After a while (very long while) it will go away and come back once a while. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
