Title: Monza II Refurbishing
Post by: mattwyer on 16 March 2008, 12:18: Hello everyone,

My first time posting on the forum having read it for the last 4 months since getting my GTI. And unfortunately for a sore reason. Came out of the house this morning to be greeted by a big dent in the rear arch and a badly scuffed Monza II 18". Does anyone know of any companies in or around London that can refurbish it? I heard that not all do. Any advise greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Matt

Alos Lepsons are good - based in Kent

Its just finding a company thats willing to take the risk and give you a warranty :undecided:

I should tell this to my dealers. I found out at the weekend (after giving the wheels a first polish) that the 'refurbish' i asked for when viewing the car is actualy a repair!!! :shocked: I noticed that the polish made a different noise around a certain part, on closer inspection i could see that the rim edge was rounded at a certain part (the rest of the wheel still had the sharp edge) Cant say im best pleased but it does look OK. They did say that it cost them Ã‚£30 per wheel........
