Within reason i dont mind what i spend but i want a proper job. I dont do poor work and dont expect to receive it.
I've asked the lastest guys to see if they can even stencil in the "Speedline Corse" logo for me so i dont have to use decals.
Thanks to everyones comments on this.
I have taken onboard the feedback which largely mirrors my own. I have taken the speedlines to a different (unfortunately far more expensive) refurb shop here in Essex this morning to be completely stripped and refinished. These guys came highly...
I was also tempted by this and wrote up my findings on my own thread about a pair of 182/172 turbso that i drove.
Whilst i apprecaite many have a differing of opinion, these were my personal findings.
I have copied/pasted the extract below.
If this is something you're interested in, speak to...
On the rear arches it’s stone impacts thrown by the front tyre at the leading ashes of the arch. Then at the tops where it meets the rear bumper from grit abrasion.
That was Karls old 172. I nearly bought that when he sold it early 2019. It was perfect back then without all that tat hanging off it.
Hes better off breaking it if he hopes to achieve his asking price.
Ha, you boys know me too well, ive got the Compomotoive page open on my PC now and im on TH2s as theyre one of my all time favourite wheel designs. Again though, theyre outrageously heavy and ive already got one set of anvils in the 2118s. I cant have 2 sets :D
Bit of a mix between Superleggeras and Turinis. NIce.
I think if i was going for that split 12 spoke design id go Superleggera. Ive even looked out for some forged options but there isnt a great deal availble and so many of them just dont look very nice.
And there lies the problem, the Turinis/2118s are tried, tested and timeless.
Then i find myself looking at some OZ Allegritas or some Enkei RPF1s.
Very light and very cool but would anything look as sweet on a mk2 Clio as a set of Turinis does?
Was certainly an eye opener going back to road...
Guys,
Can anyone clear this up for me.
Im looking at buying a brand new set of Speedline Turinis bu these are NLA from Renault. However they are available off the peg from PMS and the likes.
I have heard the Renault diamond Turini centre caps wont fit in the non Renault Speedlines,
Is this...
Had these freshly refurbished and im not 100% happy with the job. I dont trust the company to get them right so im tempted to sell for something else.
Or do i buy a new set of Turinis, however they would be non Renault specific versions.
I've heard the Renault centre caps wont fit, does anyone...
Tried on her freshly refurbished winter wheels today.
16” Speedline Turinis, a classic look for the little Mk2 Clio but is it time for a change?
What do you think?
Not in the front obviously, but you could easily dig the wire into the barrel. Its pretty easily done on the old crap designed brushes.
That posibilty doesnt even exist with a Wheel Woolie.
Who doesnt like spending money? Like many of us when it comes to our cars, just try and buy the best I...
The older Megs brushes were wire centred and had a small silicone cap on the top.
Often you would pull the brush back from the barrel of the wheel, the disc would pull the cap off and before you've realised it, you have stabbed the sharp wire end into your alloy. Even on a cheap set of wheels...
Just realised
Cheaper than a refurb when you scratch it with a £5 wire centred brush.
The set of 3 cost me £50 when i got them and i thought it was a bit strong. However i can honestly say they have ben worth every penny and would buy them again in a heartbeat. Mr Porsche would bum me for the...
