Just a word of warning i have taken 4 wheels to KO WHEELS on the A10 over the past 6 months all of which look good when you collect them, however!
My M3 19" csl rim was kerbed and i took it along with my girlfriends mini cooper split rim wheel both chrome finish , after about 6 weeks both wheels looked dull finish and ruined the look of both cars
The best example of their work however is when in the 6 week period that the wheels looked acceptable on my cars, I recommended them to my dad who took his 2 month old 3 series bmw, I took the car which was left without a scratch as it was new and washed that morning on return the bonnet had 4 long scratches as if something had been dragged off the bonnet, staff denied causing any damage or even seeing it on the car!!!!this resulted in them taking the car into their car wash and machine polishing the bonnet for over an hour which appeared to remove the worst of the damage. Staff stated the manager would call me the following day
True to their word the manager did call and after starting the conversation with i've checked the cameras it was not us, you can have a free car wash !! Now i must point out at no point i was not after a full respray just an apology and to accept that the car was damaged by them and how it was caused. After politely pointing this out was told by an irate manager that they should not have even polished it and to go and F**K myself before putting the phone down !! that's what you call customer service
I have since taken my wheels to LEPSONS who on seeing the wheels and after staring at disbelief at the work stated that the wrong paint had been used !! now back and look great !!!!
It does go to show that you get what you pay for !!!

Lepsons did my E30 M3 wheels in the summer and also do a fair few set of wheels for a friend of mine through this bodyshop with very few issues and as far as I know nothing they haven't put right straight away.
Only time will tell how good they are but fingers crossed they'll be fine.

Just picked my car up from KDS this weekend. Lepsons refurbed all the alloys whilst it was there being detailed. Amazing job - can post some pics if your interested in the end product.
Hello mate i saw your car at KDS the other day , it hadnt been done and i was in my M3 cab enquiring about having mine detailed. so were you happy with the results then ? my first impressions with the work done on the other cars there was superb and they were all top end cars too. i must say it looks fantastic and the colour is alot deeper than when i saw it !
any chance of seeing a few more pics please ?
Hey there agiggle. Yeah 100% happy. Never had a car 'detailed' before so cant comment on others but Kelly was superb.
I thought my car was in really good nick before but after seeing Kelly's M3 and now mine finished.... As you say the the paint has a lot more depth and shine but what really suprised me was the the job on the interior / seats - looks new, smells new!
(To put it in context it is now 7 years old - admittedly has only 35k on the clock)

Your M3 looks amazing, Kelly has detailed a couple of my cars now and I have been blown away by his work. He has recently wet sanded my other car, I will have to post some pictures. I now use him for all the work on my cars, he has modified my Mondeo and my girlfriend's Fiesta and he also carries out their yearly services for me. Never use main dealers any more, had a bad experience with them (say no more.....).I thought my car was in really good nick before but after seeing Kelly's M3 and now mine finished....
