Looks like a good job, much better

 

[thecremeegg]

I'm scared to get a refurb in case i scratch them

 

[Chili Red]

That's what I did Only ever scratched one wheel and had it refurbed twice..then kerbed it again! Sod's law it is..

Anyway, that looks like a good refurb to me - although the colour looks different. Maybe it's just the light though.

 

[mark989]

how much matey, just looking at average price.

 

[Andy_con]

the colour seems oko but it is dark so i cant check till tomorrow.

price was 65 + vat so worked out to 78 or something

 

[White16valver]

Not a bad job...

As above, it looks a little different to normal? but that might be the flash.

Get some pics up in the daylight! Maybe not today though, given it's greyer than an old person... lol

 

[Timmay]

[Timmay]

[Andy_con]

How long did they take to get done?
I hit a curb today to stop a bus hitting me and got a big scrape on one of mine

 

[Andy_con]

errr about an hour, does it all on your drive

 

[Andy_con]

ok after washing my car and some day light i have noticed something

neither centre cap was sprayed. one wheel matches the cap the other is off.

this is the off wheel

this is the good wheel

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Tbh mate . Without spraying the centre cap you'll always struggle to get a perfect match . Plus with it being a silvery colour it shows more as one is plastic and one is metal . A bit like on iceberg 172's , the front wings look a different shade to the doors from certain angles .

 

[Andy_con]

i just forgot to get him to spray the centre caps.

if he had done that it wouldnt have been a problem.

but what i dont understand is how one alloy matches and centre cap and one dont???

did he use a different mix or something??? who knows??

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Maybe get in touch with the guy who sprayed them . He might have some paint left and spray your centre caps cheap or free

You've nothing to lose by giving him a bell .

 

[Andy_con]

yeah could do, but this was about 3 weeks ago now

 

[mattjk]

centre caps are easy as pie to spray yourself anyway so i would ask what paint he used and give that a go (if he tries charging you this is)

 

[Skinny]

out of intrest what was the cost to get them refurbed?

 

[Andy_con]

well it was £80 per wheel, but as a garage scratched one, they paid for it.

so it cost me £80 for two wheels - 40 each

 

[Skinny]

ah okay cheers
