thought so, guna have to go to a scrappys and see if they have any 205s knockin about then, well i've thought about just refurbin back to standard silver, keepin it subtle like, but i really like rover stone grey...havent decided yet

where'd you get yours done? was it a decent price?

[dan-]

When i got mine they were painted white and were pretty scruffy plus i got sick of cleaning they. They do look good in white though especially on posi saxos. Heres my progress thread

I got mine done at diamond wheels in just off lancy hill in stockport was 200 but thats because of the red lip the powdercoating is 180. Its dear but they are really good you just leave your car with them in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon with it all done, no messin about.

yeh i've looked through your thread before, whereabouts in manc you live? £45 a corner!! thats pretty steep for me, probably just do em myself.
i'm a dab hand with a rattle can ;)

Im from denton reddish way mate what about you? Theres a cheap place in Hyde that powdercoats think my mates used them. You want me to get their number?

[karmaboi]

whereabouts is that? sorry my geography is poor :wacko:

im from walkden me, its like 10mins down the lancs from uni, yeh man theres no harm giving them a ring and gettin a quote! i'll keep an eye out for your car next time im at adelphi, ive got overdue library books so gota head up there next week sometime.

Its like east manchester near stockport really, dunno if tht helps haha. I always park behind Adelphi on the street I'm not paying 1.50 to park on the wasteland.

Spoke to my mate about them powder coaters its 15 a wheel but they dont refurb just powdercoat. http://www.manchesterhasit.co.uk/business/10745/

[karmaboi]

i bet thats abit of a mooch to uni!

£1.50?? i'm sure the dude charged me £2.50...and i scraped the crap out of my splitter too :n:

15 a corner isnt too bad, they're filled and sanded anyway so paints all i need, although i can barely afford to run the car let alone get work on it done atm!

[dan-]

na mate its about 2 mins more walkin than parking in the car park and its better for your car. know what you mean about running them cost me about 8 quid more to fill the tank now than when i first got it.
