The wheel specialist do powder coating and will do odd bits that you want done. Not cheap company tbh but they are good and the bloke (John) from the cwmbran one is a top bloke.

Mention your part of a web based car forum and he'll drop the price.

 

[Oakley12]

Ahh sweet! I've heard nothing but good about the wheel specialists! Ill give them a try! Thanks mate

I tried using them once when was on the old crumlin road. My advice is don't bother. Their s**t. Tried telling me my engine is seized when I knew 100% it wasn't. Dragged my car from their and took it 1 mile down the road to a gearbox specialist who found the box was at fault.

Their not 'French auto specialists' in anyway whatsoever.

In brief, don't f**king bother.

 

[turner24]

I went to see then when they were on the old crumlin road about a engine rebuild and they were just babbling s**t to me about finders fees on parts lol i was just wondering if i was the only person with experience with them so ha! Cheers

 

[JoshOm3]

Their a bunch of f**king knobs.

 

[turner24]

Where have you had good experiences around here then mate? Recommend any good garages local for general work?
