Wheel Refurb

Recommended Posts

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!

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

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

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

 

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