Wheel refinished on my Boxster Anniversary.
Discussion
Hi Guys.
I got my Boxster Anniversary in my this year. The car was delivered new with silver
wheels instead of the two-tone standard wheel.
I felt the two-tone wheel is part of the cars identity, so I have had them refinish
by a company in Tewksbury. Thought I would show you guys the results, hope you approve.
I think they really give the car back its identity.

...Thanks for all your positive comments.
The wheels are apinted, as I wanted to make sure the correct
colours were used and didnt want the finish to look to thick,
especially as there is two colours being used.
The company that did then is on the Ashchurch Business Park
in Tewksbury. I dont know if I post the address it fall foul
of the rules and regulations concerning advertising.

Hi PlasticToad.
I took the four wheels and tyres to them. I wanted to keep the car at home as I wanted
to clean all the wheel arches out and more importantly remove the front bumper and clean
out the radiators. ( posted pictures of the radiator clean on here)
I suspect they removed all the tyres as the wheels came back with new valves and smart
new silver wheel weights.
Cost wise, mine had no corrosion or kerb damage, so if this needs doing it will be a extra
cost, they worked out at £120.00 plus vat each. I provided them with picures of the original
two tone wheels so they could get the colour correct and they knew exactly where to paint to.
When the wheels came back, the wheels matched the pictures perfectly.

Unfortunately one of my Turbo Twists has been kerbed(not by myself)
Apart from that they are extremely good.

Go over and speak to Jeremey. Let him have a look at the wheels and I am sure
he will give you a price.
Tell him you have seen my wheels and liked the look of them, he has a copy of the
wheel images for the two tone wheels.
Hope this helps.
