Has anybody ever used this company i found them today and they have quoted me £285 to finish them in charcoal and £230 in silver. this is for 5 alloys.

i am very tempted as my alloys have had a battering.

have a look and let me know what you think.

(sorry try this:)

Just got to confince the hubby they would look good and need doing at that price.

Page cannot be found!!

But that seems VERY expensive

I had 5 pre-facelift MV6 alloys refurbed, these are diamond cut and polished, and it only cost me £250 (should have been £58 per wheel but they did me a deal on 5)

There are two companies that charged roughly the same price but as they are in Kent guess they are too far for you to go, but they do a 48hr turn around so if you are ever up that way for a few days could be worth a punt.

Where did you get your mv6 alloys refurbed, I've been looking for somewhere to get then refurbed to the original condition

Thast to pricey, the firm I have used in the past charge me 50 quid a corner and do a VERY good job

There's is a guy in Glasgow who powder coats wheels for £40.00 per wheel, most colours available and he does a good job, it's a little bit far to go for yourself but it let's you know the sort of price to look for

I think silver color is better..Will not show the dirt like the black alloys..

And the price is twice here but normal for UK.. ( I've done my originals last summer for silver color again and using them in winter as they are easy for wash) ..

ps: from the net page they say they will give in 1 day...

in painting a very good quality work can never be done in 1 day..

because you must wait for the primer and the paint to be dry between

layers..

And they can do the original pre-facelift MV6 (as Below) and refurb them back to the original two tone.

Better to get a professional to fit tint's, I got mine done for £100.00 but thats a saloon and as for the alloys sometimes it is cheaper to get a new set give ebay a try
