  1. I see what I am about to say quite a lot on this forum, so I am sorry to sound like a broken record, but ams will know if there is anywhere, he's based in Smethwick and he really is a top man, he's helping me with a shed load of work on my celica at the moment.

    I suggest you drop him a pm.

    Is he paying you per plug? Lol

    :lol:

  2. Tis indeed , and cone filter, also bumper support ready cut to fit thats in the shed

    Gradually collecting together bits, need battery relocation for this too so its not happening for a while and plenty of other maintenance/cosmetic stuff needed as well first - i say cosmetic, i mean basic stuff like getting leak sorted for good and interior back in for a start

    ?

    not for the 182 :)

    You sell my seats out from under me, you then go buy a 185 THEN you FMIC it.

    We're gonna fall out missy. ;)

  3. So £1.20 per inch?

    So 17" would be £20.40inc Vat for coating.

    So, £81.60 based on 4 wheels.

    Add tyre removal at £20-40.

    Then add Shotblast at £30-40 a wheel.

    So assuming you want them done properly...

    Tyres & Valves removed £30

    Shotblast £140

    Coating £81.60

    Tyres re fitted and balanced £40

    Total £291.60

    Not as much a bargain as first appears....

  4. Getting back onto the subject of powder coating. As I'm told a powder coated finish chips easily, and with the wheel being in VERY close proximity to the caliper, wouldn't you have to be mega careful about damaging the the finish on the caliper when removing/refitting a front wheel?. At least if you clip a caliper that you've hand painted, it's a two minute job to use the remaining/matching paint to touch-up the damaged area.

    I will be posting up a vid in the next week or so to show just how tough powder coat is once its been baked.

    Just as a point of reference, wheels are powdercoated as its tougher, more resistant to chips and scuffs and leaves a long lasting finish.
