Took my side skirts off to straighten the bent jacking points, having just done my fuel filler rust I thought i might as well carry on. Quite pleased with what I found except where grit has rubbed through the paint slightly where the top of the skirt meets the sill so I might have to rub some...

Those superleggeras look so nice Ben, makes me want anthracite on my flamer eventhough silver more suits, might go for a sparkly flake?

The one spray place told me powder coat was a bad idea and to avoid, suppose he wanted my business as he didn't do powder

So what's the general opinion on powder vs wet spraying? One place told me dont even consider powder where as others have said powder coat all the way

That's identical to me SGS but in a different colour, mines begun do slowly drop so must need a seal replacing. Swivel head is a godsend!

Not that I'm aware of, I'm in Herefordshire so similar lack of RS specialists. Would Mick at Diamond Motors in Long Eaton be too far?

Nope, one place told me they could spray the wheels and caps rather than powder coat

True mate, might go waving cash see what deal I can get

Think I will have a day out to get them done, be cheaper to get them delivered both ways at the prices I've got

Both coming in at £65 a rim no tyre fitting/removal, it might be nice scenery around here but not cheap to get wheels done!

It was the top link that quoted my that price too, waiting to hear back from Leominster powder coaters which is a bit nearer me, failing that it's worth the trip up to city powder coaters

That price was just powder coat no refitting tyres.

Yeah I think it's the captive audience of Herefordshire

I've been quoted £260 to get my turinis refurbed, that's not with my tyres fitted and me supplying bare rims. Does this seem about right? It's a long way off the £80 city fefurbs charge but they're 2hrs from me unfortunately

Not perfect but not a spot of rust left beneath that

Well it's done now!

Love RIAT, missed it this year as we were on holiday really must go next year

Anyone know what is the soonest I can apply a rattle can basecoat over Electrox? Bilt Hamber say 96 hours which seems extreme, I want to be able to get this thing back on the ground!

That's ok mate, makes for a much less sloppy gearstick

It will say it's for a mk1 but is the same part as for mk2s

RPD 7700 110500

To what extent do they repair curbed edges? Ones a bit grotty

Early standard 172s didn't have traction or cruise control I believe as my 02 doesnt

Cups only have two rear seatbelts I believe

Do you ever need to take 4 passengers?

Stick! Not keen on the cup seats either.

I was thinking of taking them up to city powder coaters in Brum, anyone used them and can they do anthracite type colours? £160 for a straight set of cup turinis needing a refurb sound a good price?

Green, that's quite a statement!

I'm thinking of getting some turinis for my flame red but cant decide whether to go for silver or a more anthracite colour, any one got any photos of theirs flamers on turinis?

Ah ok Ah ok, on both front and back? What did I look like on the standard alloys?
