Hello, Gonna get some cash for my birthday, and have decided to get my 17" straights re-furbed, but don't know which way to go, I can either have Anthracite as opposed to standard silver, or pay a little bit extra, and have either Black Chrome, or smoked chrome. Does anyone have any pictures of any of these finishes on their wheels, or could someone possibly do a PS for me?

Cheers
Papa :morepics::morepics::morepics:

Not because I have them, but what about white? I saw a Lupo GTi in black with white alloys, it looked stunning!

Yeah, the gunmetal is 260 a set, and the chrome is 305 a set

how much???? is that leaving them the car and them taking the tyres off etc etc.... my mate just had his mk2 straights done by them in hyper silver for 120 but he just dropped of the rims...

i had mymk2 wheels done in white, cost me £120, that was for taking off the tyres, refurb and spraying, and putting the tyres back on, i just dropped the car off and picked it up the day after

She's ruined a perfectly good set of seat covers :cry: tis okay though......I can get Ralph to put me some new ones on :D

Yep......I know now.....it's a toss up between refurbing mine in chrome when I have the spare money or having them done in Olde English White :D

Are we talking seat stains or alloy wheel refurbs??

If you want seat stains......lend me your car for an evening and you won't be disappointed ;) the local red light district is only 5 or 6 miles away ;)

If we are talking wheel refurbs......

there is a place near us called Lepsons Alloy Wheel refurbishments or another very well rated place in Tonbridge called Spit and Polish.....

and no.....thats not a sex shop :slap:

Jim, in many ways you remind me of the current shape Nissan Micra. The designer for that car obviously had too much lead in his pencil and didn't know when to stop drawing, so he just carried on spurting out random crap that had nothing to do with the original idea - get where i'm coming from ?!!! ;) Sometimes mate, it's maybe best to just stop tapping those keys ! :clown:

Carmadbaker, those wheels look great, a similar design to standard yet the finish - especialy on a black car - sets it off very well - nice work ! :)
