I remember getting one of my Monza's refurb'd last year.  The place I went was recommended but I found it a tad off-putting when I pulled up in the other half's car with the wheel in the boot to find a MK5 GTi and a Audi TT wheel-less on axle stands. 

Still, nearly a year on, the finish is still excellent so I'm well impressed.

Oh, and sorry, the cost was £55.

Can you divulge where it is Avalon? Could be an option as I'm regularly up your way.

Andy - the wheel was sorted on one of my many sojourns to Milton Keynes.  I'll dig the info out if you're down in the land of concrete cows, but I'm guessing you're more likley to be up in Toon Town.

Milton Keynes you say, it wasn't Pristine was it?

I've just had a spare Shadow that I picked up collected and its winging its way to Lepsons to have the life put back in it....

Will report back once it's done with pics....

Don't recall the name, but the place was adjacent to an Insurance repair yard in Wavendon.

As far as I'm aware Lepsons and Pristine are only two companies in the UK that actually have the required equipment to do the diamond cut process...I did hear that A1 in Wolverhampton cud do it but have since read that they now accept diamond cut but send it on to Lepsons to do, the customer is told this when phoning A1...aparently!

That's Pristine, always used to do a good job but not used them for years. They refurbed my Clio Williams wheels about 10 years ago and were able to add the diamond cut polished lip which is very rarely added, they looked superb :cool:
