"** Chrome effect, diamond cut and split rim finish are not available."

:( Spoke to the VW approved place that they use and have been told that I will have to have the wheel sent away to get a diamond cut wheel done. Going to try a few other places today.

Has anyone on here actually had a Monza wheel refurbished by a mobile person? Is it possible?

No idea, I phoned up my local dealer and said I have MK5 GTi Monza wheels, and need to know if they are something something or something something something (i cant actually remeber what I asked him now but its what the wheel man asked me to ask him) and he basically said that he is asking if they are single colour or dual colour and he said the mk5 is dual colour . . . ? Anyone shed any more light on it?

Alan, if there 17'' they are not diamond cut and anyone should be able to do a decent repair. If they are 18'' then they will be Monza 2's and will need a more specialist repair  :wink:

In that case it's a standard painted finish.

Alan StevePG recently scuffed one of his and got a mobile dude out, i believe he charged him £ 50 but did an excellent job.  :drool:

Im probs just got to use the place that my local dealer gave me. I know you should never assume things but I take seeing as they are VWs recomendation they must be half decent.
