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.

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 ;-)

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.
