Wheel Refurb

[sparky370z]

Nope - haven't got the locking nut key - so wheels have never been off - and I can't find anywhere else to look in the car ........ unless there's a secret compartment I don't know about

 

Yeah, the button for it is under the ejector seat lever.

 

The bloody dealers are useless, that was one thing I made sure was there as I have been done before. 100 quid to chop and batter the lock nuts off. Doh!

next to the GTR ejector start button ?

[sparky370z]

Defo a mod I want to do. The red button looks very cool!

[ioneabee]

ok - email sent to dealer - wait and see now

[ioneabee]

actually..............................erm....................YES (cheeky buggers, the lot of you)

[ioneabee]

Well - car finally gone in ...... including locking wheel nut key

Pick her up on Saturday

Piccies to follow

[Jay]

Looking forward to seeing them refurbed mate

[ioneabee]

Same colour (hopefully) Jay - not brave enough for pink or orange or purple.........

[Jay]

Purple would look soooooooooooo awesome next to a black 370z.. yum.

[ioneabee]

ok - piccie time

 

the colour match is spot on and he's done a brilliant job - £75 per wheel (fronts done only) - I (or my wife) haven't managed to damage the rear ones yet !!!!

 

unfortunately - different lighting conditions from original to now don't compare well - so I've included the rear ones to show the match

 

Front Right - as originally damaged

 

 

Front Right - refurbed

 

 

Rear Right - as original

 

 

Front Left - as originally damaged

 

 

Front Left - Refurbed

 

 

Rear Left - as original

 

 

The owner of the garage refused to tell me how he matched them - said its his secret !!!! - but this is where I had it done

www.alloyrefurb.net

 

so overall - apart from the missus making my pocket £150 lighter - very pleased and would recomend him

 

reviewing the front and rear pic - they still look different on here - but I can confirm they are a good match
