Looks good  :cool:

Bloody numpties doing centres too  :laugh: but at least you got them to cough up for it.

Be good to see some pics of the car in full so we could get a better picture of what it looks like.

It's does look like they've done a good job though!

They have done a good job .only way they coughed up was because I had picked up my keys off the office desk before the boss arrived .. he had told the young lad on the phone not to give me the keys ! And when he turned up about 15 min later he said ' that car is not leaving here till you pay me the full fu@&*ng amount !  And then I showed him I already had the keys ! Ha he was not impressed and full of un called for language.... lol
.. I'll get car clean and sort a few pics .. centre caps won't be here till middle of next week though

They look great Sandtrap; I'd be really chuffed with those :cool: Much more durable than the previous diamond cut finish.

Hi Sandtrap, the images (anthracite) have gone from the site now but I wonder if you could try to reload and also update as to whether you've had an any issues since.  After lending my GTi to a mate for the weekend I now have 2 badly kerbed alloys and the wheel specialist (edinburgh) is clear this would be the last time they could be cut.  Powder coating (he recommended black chrome) would come in at £400.  That's for 19" with 2 repairs and 2 just coat and paint.
