i have nearly finished paintin my wheels gloss black but i not to sure if they will hold up once on the motor. Each wheel has three coats of paint and four coats of lacquer. Is there any type of seal that i could buy that would provide both a hardened seal but also extra shine to the gloss finish.

Hi all, I picked up my Leon Cupra yesterday and I'm loving it. The only thing that's bothering me is the awful kerbing done by the last owner. Can anyone recommend somewhere in the Newcastle/Gateshead area to refurb them? I want to keep the colour as close to standard as possible...

I'm just continuing my Project/Work log here. So to say, I really like modding the little bits! "A Seat Toledo, (Black) Non-facelifted Model, and I think it's year 2003. My dad bought the car for me to use my daily college journey. With 110,000km on the mileage, I think it got alot of things...

HI All well I took in a set of Audi RS6 replicas to be refurbished the other week in "bright" silver picked them up last saturday and was far from impressed. There was a mottled type effect on each of the spokes and over spray from the paint and baring in mind that is an extra £12 to have...

Just a quick recommendation for anyone in the Brighton/West Sussex area who's looking for a quality refurb - I've just got mine back from 'Wheels Like New' (Hove). Cracking job and an incredibly quick turn around considering the amount of damage. (R) Pictures below:

I know this has been done to death n no-one seems able to recommend any in Surrey/south london in the searches i've done however is it feasible to have them done in a day or is it likely to be a pants job! There's somewhere in Nth London offering this,must be on premises as seems most place send...

After spending 2 weekends preparing and spraying my caliper I went to finally add the brembo logo and laquer over. After I cleaned the surface and stuck the sticker on i sprayed over the caliper and after a few minutes the paint began going wrinkley and began peeling off :cry: Only to find out...

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my standard 17" Cupra alloys to a set of 18" LCR alloys. However, I'd also like to get them refurbished and finished in something like black / smoked chrome. I think these would look awesome on my platinum Cupra. Does anyone know of anyone who offers...

I have just been told by a local wheel man that the LCR wheels are almost impossible to colour match properly and that I would probably need to get all four done to ensure a match....... Is there anywhere in Surrey/South london that can do the LCR wheels properly?

Hi All my alloys are pretty scuffed at the mo and was considering getting them done - i googled ally refurb and found this...

Anyone in the Sheffield area got a number for a decent refurbisher, also what are the costs. The wheels are 18" wheelmania rvr platinums but i'm thinking of black cos they'll look good on a bronze leon.:D Cheers

Am going to get my standard LCR alloys refurbished at lap-tab but dont know whether to get them coloured at the same time. I know that black or a darker colour looks pretty good on a yellow or red LCR - but not too sure about platinum. I think the standard silver is a little bit lighter than...
