Alloy Wheels

[EvilOmar]

osalam@hotmail.comhi there

finally gort the toy of my dreams, Mk 1 GS 300 sport with the 10inch alloys on the back. However the alloys have seen better days (oh the joys of salt on scotlands roads) and i was wanting the refurbed to hopefully original spec tho a full anthracite powder coating would do at a push. Im on the west coast of scotland and im looking for someone who can diamond cut. also hopefully the would sort me out with a set of loaners seeing as i need my car

Cheers n hope someone can help me out for the summer

In reply to my own post, have tracked down someone who will remove my 18 inch 8in f/10in r wheels and tyres, sand blast etc and powder coar in a high gloss anthracite finish (no-one willing to even attempt to diamond cut unfortunately) refit tyres and balance wheels and refit to car with a 3 day turn around! In addition he's supplying a set of 17 inch loaners while this is getting done. Im also getting a 35% smoke tint all round and the cars having a full valet too once the tints have been done (hes aiming at a 4 hour turn around for that) I've seen examples on cars in the workshop n it looks a cracking job. This was priced for a total of £500 (he knocked £50 off for combining the 2 jobs) which going by all quotes up to now is competitive but also with the loaners very handy too.

The company is

Be careful of 35% tints, plod may pay you too much attention! I have 50% fronts, I get a few hard stares but live to fight again :duh:
