    NO WAY mate. The blue is gorgeous & unique. She obviously has no taste, unlike her dad!

    It's usually about how good it looks for its age. Am a bit pee'ed off that nobody says that about ME but the car makes up for it. I once had a young girl ask me if it was a Ferrari though. Obviously I told her the truth :rolleyes:

    Give it a bash mate. You've nothing to lose & you might end up with a decent spare set. Like I said, I used a Dremel to take off the loose stuff, high build primer to bring the level back up & elbow power with wet & dry paper for the sanding. Metallic silver rattle cans, few coats of lacquer & jobs a good un! 25 quid for paint beats 50 quid a wheel for a pro to do it, especially for the winter

    ^^^ I did this too ^^^ then a rub with t-cut & a coat of wax. Sorted

    My youngest tells me that too but it might be because she WANTS it for herself! She can't even feckin' DRIVE yet!!!

    No probs Sara. Next time you're up, leave your wheels with me for a week!!!
  7. skatz114
    Well that's them done. Not the best job but a damn sight better than they were & good enough for winter wheels! From this To this Well happy for a first attempt, considering it was elbow grease & rattle cans!

    Does the mot certificate not say " to preserve the date on this certificate, you cannot present the vehicle for a test before....." I think it's 30 days prior to that one expiring. If you test the car before that date, does it not invalidate the current one?

    Cheers Bill, I'll nip down to Thornton tomorrow

    Refurb has started! Loose paint removed & wheels are roughly sanded ready for primer. Is there anything I should use to remove any dust & contaminants before primer? I seem to remember something about alcohol wipes? Or is that my drink problem rearing its ugly head again

    GENIUS!!!
  13. skatz114
    Winter wheels. Let the refurb begin!
  14. skatz114
    Yeah, it's a 2 part mix. I think I'll go for that when the time comes. Cheers Dublet

    They look amazing! I hope to get mine looking as good as that although I'm only going to use them as winter wheels (although that might change if they look good enough) How did you fill the deep scuff on the edge mate?
  17. skatz114
    thanks for that, I didn't know about etch primer!
  18. skatz114
    My mate works at a skip refurbishing place so I can get them blasted pretty cheap( maybe even for nowt! )

    Hey folks, dunno if this is the right place to post so mods, feel free to move it! So, I just bought a set of 17" wheels from digitalghost (cheers Carl) which should be here Wednesday. They're going to need a refurb which I'm going to have a bash at myself. It looks like I might have to take them back to the metal so the question is.... What's the best way to do this? Chemical, elbow grease, sandblasting? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Iain

    It's happened to me a couple of times & never fails to give a warm feeling in the tummy
  21. skatz114
    you got it on yet Kenny? You'll notice the difference!!
  22. skatz114
    Looks good mate but a resounding YES on the lowering
  23. skatz114
    If you use a pointy stick or small screwdriver to take them off, you might damage the paint on the wheels bud. Best to do it from the back with the wheels off. I got a set of decals from mook & painted my centre caps to suit the car, then fitted the decals & lacquered them.
  24. skatz114
    Looked at the red but with red logos on the centre caps, I thought it would be too much. Black ones now ordered Thanks folks
  25. skatz114
    As per the title folks. My tuner nuts have started to rust & make the car look tatty so am going to change them. My wheels are gloss black with a polished lip & I'd like opinions on what would look best with them. Thanks
