On a recommendation from Craig @ MMC popped in to see Colin near the Gyle to sort out the shambles that my Vantage alloys become.
My god - I doubt they looked this good when they left Newport Pagnell!
SO wishing i had taken before and after snaps, as you genuinely would struggle to believe it!
Highly recommended
Will be using again

What sort of money? I'm thinking my 19's on the passat need a brighter colour as the refurb before I bought them is a bit to grey for me
Also the wife has trashed the 19's on her car so I migh need to refurb them before selling the car as she thinks it's a kerb magnet, I think she just has no spacial awareness!, I'm right of course and will no doubt buy her something smaller if she's a good girl lol

They were quite expensive when i looked at their Glasgow branch. £255 for 4 x 17" alloys.

That's what I paid in East Kilbride for 17s too.

Think the price is approx what has been mentioned here, but if you are thinking about it, really cant recommend them enough. There is also no way you would have believed how bad the Aston wheels were. They were starting to look mosaic effect as the heat from the brakes was causing them to look shockingly bad. everything was peeling and flaking off!
Now the Aston looks much more refined, I've actually driven it this week

Andy, did you have them painted or powder coated and did they manage to match the original colour, just thinking I might get mine done at some point.
Cheers.

I used the Aberdeen franchise on the people carrier....Chryslers alloys are rubbish!
Just had my Seat wheels done too but not seen them yet as I'm in Florida. If I remember I'll stick up before and after pics.
Best thing about them is I have dropped the car off and even got new tyres fitted at the same time...easy peasy!

If you scroll down this detailing world post you'll see my wheels before and after.
Young lad I know in Kintore did both my cars detailing. Great job too!
He's mad keen to work on something cool so pm me if you fancy getting your car some TLC!
