My scuffed alloy's
« on: 02 September 2008, 19:34 »
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:

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?

alloys not alloy's.

any powdercoater will see you right, mind it'll be a fair sight dearer for big rims.

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
