Alvaro Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 What about the rest of the car?It depends on the wheels, anyway it is a good excuse to get new alloys style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putney Posted June 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 small chip in windscreen from racing my friend in his 106 rallye, and a dented skirting kit. White van driver forced me up a kerb and into a plastic bollard. Didnt see the dent till i got home. its under the sill so i was lucky. £400 to fix, but think i will leave it for the moment as i is skint shall we say. its not that bad, i have to point it out to people as they think it is part of the car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> should do the other side. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> they are bathurst gti wheels do you know if they can be done? (restored). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyB Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Yeah, look in the Yellow Pages. Depending on how bad they are, can cost from £30-£60 per wheel.Place in Walsall does it. My mate is (possibly) buying some S3 wheels which are in bad shape, so he's going to get those restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 Pristine is the name of the national chain of wheel refurbishers, was part of fred the tred or something like that around £40 per rim unless you have split rims then it gets expensive as they have to take them apart.
