Default Alloys Refurbed + Gauge install Today

What a day! Bloody nice weather and a few things going right for a change.

I think the pictures say it better than I can, but yes, I am extremely happy with the finished job - super!

I even had time to install the PFV boost gauge (with working dimming lights no less) whilst I was waiting. The A pillar was a bit of bother as i wasn't happy with just screwing it on, so I fibre-glassed and bonded it and finished with a bit of paint.

If you are interested, I will be happy to pass on their details, or indeed I shall try and get to the next meet for you to look at the job yourself before you put your hands in your wallets.

Dave

Looking good.
Any chance you have a paint code for the colour used on your wheels.
Cheers m8.

This is a small local business called Autosmart ran by father (Mike) and son (Scott). They primarily deal with the local dealers (Porsche, BMW and Volvo) but do carry out private jobs - I saw their work at the local Volvo dealer I got the number from the salesman. The job took them six hours start to finish.

As for the paint code I haven't got a clue. I believe this colour was originally bought for a Lexus customer and I made the choice by a paint test card. They will paint the wheels any colour you want - truely custom.
