Refurbished Rims

[Jay20VT]

So, finally got the rims refurbished and with the shiny new R badges, I think it's looking good... What do you fine people think??

Very nice mate.
Did you find out what he meant about the jacking points?

Looks like they've done a great job. How much did it cost per wheel?

Nathan, Yes the jack points are not in great condition but are fine as is. They didn't remove the covers to jack it either

So, I paid 80 per wheel and for them done by a company called Wicked Rims in Stevenage
I highly recommend them, really professional outfit

That’s good.
The only thing I would say is just watch out, if you don’t remove the covers you can catch the underside of the skirt with the jack handle.
Or if they use the jacking point it can bend the skirt when the weight pushes where the clips are.
I am speaking from experience. Never been to that tyre place since. Lol

All noted with Thanks.

Hope you can persuade the highway's lot that here isn't 1970's Spain.
Good luck keeping them straight.

Girlfriend parked my car so close to the kerb after borrowing it that I was the one who kerbed the alloy getting it out.

Hmm .. I see so many lovely cars which are very expensive and drivers who just cannot park to save their lives lol.. alloys all shot to pieces when the car is 1 or 2 years old..
But what pisses me off even more is when some people drive land rovers and can't get through the same space a bus can.. GET YOURSELF A MINI !! I scream at them lol

A mini isn’t much smaller any more.

 

[Jay20VT]

So true.. although I would say these drivers are more suited to a Mk1 mini

In the defence of crap parkers,
I've always found the Leon a sod to park & have never really got the hang of it.
I hang my head in shame.

I can empathise, it's not as easy as parking my other car the Honda

 

[iammooks]

Lost count of the number of times I've done what I thought was an amazing parallel park and ended up with the back sticking out.

And I'm supposed to be an advanced driver.

Must be something to do with the window frame sloping at the bottom...

After 25 years of doing multidrop deliveries in vans, i often get comments from passengers about the fact i reverse into spaces without looking over my shoulder. Parking just using wing mirrors has become my default mode, even in cars lol.
