great work.
I like it:smile:

Looks great and they were a bargain.

I recovered my seats with an aftermarket kit. Not exaggerating when I say it took 3 hours per seat to strip and rebuild.
£100 per seat is great value.

Does anyone have a link or know where to get the front indicator fitting? and also ive been looking through the threads to find it because im sure ive seen it somewhere but, what car is the rear screen from? cheers

WorldClassAccident 15th August 2013 21:21

How much to get the wheels powder coated?

I have a set of poorly painted wires that I would like to have stripped and powder coated either black or titanium grey.

I would like them stripped back and made good but a LARGE bill on my modern has delayed that idea. Still interested in what you paid. PM me if you don't want the wife to see ;-)

Danny_HUFC 16th August 2013 07:25

Haha these where a tad rusty when i got them but i had them sand blasted, primed and chrome powdercoated for £150 for all 4. The finish is perfect, i cant fault them. Had them done at RS alloy refurbs in Hartlepool.
