They do indeed Harry. Here's a couple of pictures of an RC with the Aeromax finish. The finish is amazing, and basically the original Anniversary RC finish.





They're based in Norfolk and hold the licence for the Aeromax finish. There's an Anniversary owner on a local VW forum that I'm on, that just had his wheels redone, the finish is nothing short of amazing. If you're looking to get yours done, I'd definitely get in contact. You'll find their contact information here.

For me to ship them to Aerocoat from Dublin, have the work done, and for them to send them back to me, it's going to cost me just under €400.00.

Sorted the reverse rake on this today, will hopefully get some pics over the weekend. Much happier with how it's sitting now. Front coils were seized, but some impressive vocab, some penetrative oil, a lump hammer and a big screwdriver we had ourselves a porno some free coils!

Nice one, I always have a little worry about this, best thing on them long term to keep them free is chain wax for motorbikes.  :smiley:

Decided to get rid of my TA sh!tbrix coilovers as I couldnt take the crash crash bang bang any longer. So I replaced them with a set of these lads.



Weitec Hicon GTs. As soon as I sat into the car I could feel the difference. The car feels so much more planted at speed, and no more feeling like you're about to roll the car in the corners.

I'm just waiting for them to settle at the moment, so the car is all over the place height wise. I've only done about 100 miles so far, so once they're settled I'll sort out the ride height and get some new pictures up. So far, I'm very impressed with the Weitecs. I'd recommend them for anyone looking for a set of coilovers.

I paid just over €600.00, so about £500.00. Well worth the money though. I've had my fair share of budget coilovers, there's just no comparison between the Weitecs and budgets.

They're settled now, really comfortable coilover, and well able for the twisties too :wink:
