Cheers  :cool:

Got a price earlier for the centres to be powdercoated silver. £25 a wheel. Chuffed with that. Hopefully i can polish the centres up well enough myself, then try to rebuild them  :drool:

Thanks for the comments :)

Little bit of an update. Had the mot last month, flew through!  :)

I picked up some winters yesterday, Renault Clio ph1 turbines. But they are pretty beat up and are in need for a refurb. For the time being i have just touched the chips in  :lol:  :lol:
I was going to repaint them silver but i quite like them in black  :wub:



The dog checking the surf in this one  B)

I gave it a good clean today, SRP, Ultra Deep shine then HD wax is about as far as i go with detailing. Crap photos to show off the depth of the shine but i passed a 10' plate Lambo earlier and the Mk2 looked better  :wub:


Next step, Im having a go at re-texturing the bumpers and then some coilovers  :D

Pic quality really doesnt do the car justice!!

Wheels look great, I'd refurb them in black or a dark grey as they work well with your car like that I think.... How do you go about retexturing a bumber?

You can get this paint from upol. They do a kit so you can retexture your bumper then spray over the top for a colour match.

I think I'll refurb them in satin black in the summer when the rm's are on. And £1700 for a clean isn't bad money ;)
