So is this about alloy wheel repair, yes? Mine are quite badly kerbed - a previous owner but I haven't bothered doing anything about it since I bought the car!

Does a group visit mean a good deal?

??? Depends how many people place orders. I got a discount by mentioning Pistonheads last year.

You don't need to get work done to attend. It's just an open day to have a look round and a chat and a good excuse for a meet.

They'll be able to quote for work whilst you're there, I'm sure for a new venture prices will be favourable.

They'll certainly be able to repair scuffs and paint wheels.

Right, due to a delay in equipment delivery, the opening has been put back to early December, so the open day will be postponed for the time being.

As soon as I have more information, I will let you know.

Thanks for your patience.

UPDATE -----------------

They're open!

I have a meeting with them on Friday (looking to get my wheels done too!) so I'll confirm days then.

Any requirements from you guys? Things you'd like to see, do, have on offer? Any suggestions I can make? Which dates would be best for you? Before or after Christmas?

Thanks,

Dan

[Mark.]

Have to be after Crimbo for me.

[nick1275]

After Xmas for me

[saleen836]

Looking to attend but after christmas would be better, I have had wheels done by the Fareham branch and would like to get my Saleen wheels sorted and as this new branch is a bit closer...

[danyeates]

Hi,

I've visited the new premises for The Wheel Specialists in Ferndown and it's very impressive! They have loads of indoor and outdoor space, plenty of room to park lots of interesting cars.

There's loads of kit and machinery there with various wheel colours and designs on display.

http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/bournemouthdor...



We're organising a food van to be onsite serving bacon and sausages and other breakfast goodies!

Basically it's a good opportunity for a meet, have a chat with each other and discuss with Pete the possibilities of having your wheels painted. I'm sure there will be some excellent prices on offer.

The event will be on a Saturday morning, we just need to decide which one. I'm busy on the 12th January, so does anyone have any preferences over the 19th or 26th January?

Please spread the word and invite as many people as possible!

Dan

[Thejimreaper]

Looks like a smart set up

[Evo6rs2]

I'm going to try and pop along to this.

[danyeates]

The open day will be held in the morning on Saturday 26th January. There will be a burger van doing breakfasts on site, perhaps we could have a drive before meeting up?

Please confirm if you'll be attending on the 26th.

Cheers.

If the weather is good yes.
