CarrotCakeIsYum Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I was out driving last weekend and had a bit of a mishap when driving onto a grass verge which turned out to me concrete (oops). I bought the Z 2nd hand and it has always pulled very slightly to one side, and after the above I reckon it could do with its alignment looking at... can anyone recommend somewhere good in the Epsom/Surrey area? There's also a hefty scuff mark to the alloy and I was thinking of getting one of those mobile vans out to refurbish it. I've heard that the paint they use can discolour over time - anyone had experience of them? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Abbey motorsport (Trader on here) might be best for you given what you have described. Give them a call. There is nowhere in the Epsom area that I have heard that is good, or dare I say knows the ZEDs well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had quite a few refurbs done on my previous 370. Wicked Wheels is quite a well known mobile refurb company and they will cover Surrey. I had a few refurbs with them and I was very happy with the results. They're not cheap (£90 -£100 for a 19 alloy) but they do a good job. I'd suggest you avoid anyone who seems very inexpensive. I had one wheel done by another company for £50, but it turned out to be a pretty shabby job. They only sprayed around the damaged part of the wheel. It looked fine until you got close to it. They'd even laquered over some dirt on the wheel A decent refurb will mean removing, sanding / grinding, respraying the whole wheel, laquering and baking. All happens in the van and takes about 2 hours. I don't think mobile refurb companies fix things like misaligned wheels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
