Hi there im new to this forum, and dont know if this has been mentioned already, but im from london and my gti's standard alloys are really badly scratched and i was wondering if anybody knows any repair services around or is there anything i could do to make them look better.
Please help, as i had some guy in a merc scratch across my wheels now my car looks a mess :angry:

Hello and Welcome to the madhouse :laugh:
I am sure someone from big smoke area will be along shortly to recommend a good wheel repair shop. :smiley:

Alright butty!!...from sunny south wales! :grin:
welcome to the legendary mk5 section!

Thanks for that. I just hope somebody notices the post

www.SpitAndPolish.co.uk - based in Kent.
One of the few companies who can make a real good job of the GTIs 18" Monza II alloys.
Ness, are yours 17s or 18s?

Oh, and welcome to the forum! :smiley:

alloys not alloy's.
any powdercoater will see you right, mind it'll be a fair sight dearer for big rims.

alloys not alloy's.
Pedant :tongue:

Not if they are Monza IIs with the diamond cut face. Powdercoating those puppies completely defeats their attraction! :rolleyes:

if you're going to the bother of getting them refurbed might as well actually get a finish that will last, ie. powdercoating.
and i apologise, but incorrect use of apostrophe's in plural's really get's on my tit's

Agreed on the longevity issue, but no amount of longevity from powdercoating will be able to match the beauty of the original finish. Unless you go for a completely different colour. Can the ChromaFlair flips be powdercoated? :undecided:
If the OP only has the 17"s, then lusting over the diamond cut finish is purely academic though! :rolleyes:

But you don't mind the lack of capitals at the begining of sentances? :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

How about capitals at the start of a sentence, with a full stop at the end, if you want to be A PRICK accurate Sharpie?
Not everyone has your attitude level of education.

who needs original chromaflair finishes when they whiteworm in a year. get them powdercoated a mega bright colour/black if you're scared and be a bit different from the rest of the sheep on here.
i hope you spelled sentences wrong for my benefit. the lack of capital letters is fine, because my grammar is all here.
for people moaning about getting english lessons - if you can't take the time to write a decent question, then don't expect people to reply with decent answers (answer's)

irrelevant when people don't have a fundamental grasp of apostrophe use. try to not let your inferior intellect come across as aggressiveness though.

you share my passion, let's start a club together. i want to castrate people who spell brakes like breaks. tires and tyres always annoyed me too, although both are acceptable, perhaps i'm too pedantic.

Perhaps sharpie, you should concentrate on saying something useful isnt of worrying about where someone puts an apostrophe.
I'm still waiting if ever the day comes you post something thats actually useful to the members here. :rolleyes:

had you taken the time to actually read the posts, rather than jumping on the proverbial bandwagon, you will see both myself and t-tamer had a discussion about the merits of powdercoating.
i suppose it would be rather hard to read with one's head up one's ass.

judging by your avatar picture sharpie, that happens alot in your case

rule number one; never judge a user by their avatar photo. people who know me may be able to appreciate the irony there.

well perhaps its best for all, you go where your known and not known. Preferably to a forum to a car you actually own???, judging by what
you post, you own something else???

i never realised that a topic about scuffed wheels was marque-specific.

hopefully Ness, T.T's link will be helpful, plz ignore the diversion of topic from sharpie. Any more questions, plz dont hesitate to post for help
