For sale, my spare (winter wheels).

Sold my mini cooper last month and the new owner don't fancy another set of winter wheels, so I took the tires off refurbished the wheels.

They are being professionally refurbished.

No buckle, no dent, perfectly straight.

Wanting £330, but will consider sensible offer.

Cash on collection only. Can deliver within 30miles radius from Huddersfield for a small fee. Sorry, will not post to avoid dispute if wheels are damaged during transit.

Comes with original center cover but not in great condition. Can get new ones from eBay for £15

Welcome 👋

Ordered 😎

Good morning, thanks for sharing.

I'm interested with gearbox oil and diff oil with mollyslip. Please pm me with price and what's your recommendation. I don't mind spending a bit of extra to get the best oil. And also the mixing ratio. This will be my first gearbox and diff oil change hence still very new and don't know much about this subject. Will send my car to my local garage and learn from him so that I can do it myself next time. (I'm planning to keep my zed for life) Thanks

Looking good

Looking good mate!

Got quoted £35 each for 18inch alloys. He's my colleague's brother in law and based in Castleford.

There's a good one in Halifax, 40mins ish from Manchester. After refurb, they will look like show room alloys! I did my mini cooper wheels recently, had them done by a powder coater company hence I need to get them alloys ready myself. £5 each to remove the tyres, £15 each to fit tyres, valve and balanced. That's £80 before you start. Then for all 4-off 16inch alloys, it cost me £120. So £200 in total.

P.S. Get that aerial sorted lol! PM Tarmac Sportz...

Ordered!!

Thank you guys! I wish I can do it myself but can't really do it by the street! Best to take it to someone who knows what they are doing and learn whilst they are doing it. Will defo do it myself once I buy a house with a double garage. Zmanalex kit sounds like the one for me. Been noticing the gearbox starts to make some clicking noise during gear change, hope a oil change will improve things.

I'm thinking of getting mine done, where's Horsham Developments located? And what's the damage to the wallet? 😀 was it with Nissan original oil or special oil?

Horsham Developments are located in Chieveley, Berkshire. Link: http://www.h-dev.co.uk/contact_us.php

 

They use genuine Nissan gearbox oil with Molyslip gearbox additive added at the same time to improve gear changes further. Diff oil again was genuine Nissan stuff. Was about £54 for the service pack to do the gearbox oil change and about £25 for the diff oil.

Thanks mate. But this is really far away from me. I'm in West Yorkshire 😢 do you happen to know any good ones around this area?

Cracking result! When using the sanding pads sand up and down NOT in circles as it will be a lot easier to buff out straight sanding lines rather than swirls.

Thanks, will keep that in mind.

I've the Gtechniq C4 plastic restorer as well yesterday through the post. Will give it a go this weekend ðŸ˜

Yep, I did have some masking tape around the headlights and I left the bonnet open so that I don't need to mask more surface. Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated =)

Defo worth it mate. Looks great after restored. Will go a step further once the Turtle Wax Ice Synthetic paste arrive.

I'm going to try get hold of the Turtle wax synthetic paste polish before I perform a Mr Miyagi on these headlights........up and down.....side by side......up and down.....side by side......wax on......wax off.........

Been reading the forum on best headlight restorer and decided to give it a go with Meguiar's G1900UK Headlight Restoration Kit

Brought it from Amazon.co.uk for around £17 delivered and also brought myself a Argos value cordless drill fro £14.99.

Here's a picture before

Here's the result after 2 rounds of buffing with the restoration compound.

Buffing is around 3 minutes on each headlight. The cordless drill that I'm using is pretty low speed and does the job. Need to be careful if you are using a more powerful cordless drill as it might damage your headlight.....Always on low speed.......

After the buff, its pretty good. Most of the shine is restored but not 100%. Still some scratches around.

I did not use the sanding block provided as I'm not sure how long will it last if I sand it down before I buff with the compound hence I've only used the the buff wool and compound only. Any one tried sanding it down as well? Hope to get some advise before sanding it down.

I've also read that after sanding and buffing, use the surface sealant (glass sealant) of UV Inhibitor/coating will make it shine and almost new. Again, anyone has experience on this? How long will it last before I need to repeat the process again?
