stoatman Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well finally got round to the alloys. I acquired a full set of ebay that were not buckled but in a horrible black paint. Initially I was going to paint them myself and looked around for a place to get them stripped to give me a headstart. A local place wanted 35 quid a wheel just to sand blast them !. Thought that was way to dear and visited a local alloy wheel repairer as h chemically strips them. He wanted 16 quid a wheel. After talking to him he agreed to strip and what he called "prime them ready for painting for 100 quid, thought that was ok and agreed. When I went to pick them up he had actually stripped , sanded and powder coated all wheels (I guess he had some left over from another job) and they looked amazing !!. In the end all I did was lacquer them . Ina massive coincidence they were the exact colour I wanted as I had already sprayed two centre caps to match. Check out the wheels and the lucky match !!>.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Wheels look mint dude, really set off the colour! My mum has the 2.3 Type V, properly comfortable but so slow! Always been tempted by the Type R! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
