Managed to kerb 3 wheels a few weeks back frown but just had them refurbished by Chris Clee at Revive. I thought the fourth wheel had a little spot that needed doing, but when Chris looked at it there was lacqure peeling in 3 places. He very generously just went ahead and did the whole for the same price, then put a bit of colour on my splitter, that had a big scuff, for free. What a nice chap, good to talk too, the workmanship was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him. Look at my lovely wheels, happy again smile

Ground down the burrs and damage, then filled in where necessary, undercoat, paint then finally lacqure and polish. Chris and his assistant were here for 4 hours doing all four wheels.

Any chance you could PM me the price please, as mine are looking a little untidy? Cheers.

Stratstone refurbished one of mine during the service for £95 including VAT which I thought was about right

Nice job Andy, spot on colour, you must be pleased.

Would you believe kerbed the nearside rear on Vesuvius on the way home last night,,,,in 2nd, pressed down on the loud pedal too much in the wet, the rear end snapped left bugger, bugger and thrice bugger,,,banghead I'll take her into Lancaster Cambridge this week for the recall throttle pedal upgrade, hopefully they use a top line refurb shop. Ed tells me Lees screen went on his way home,,,,hey-ho, this is the life.

I got the diffuser too, it looks great. My only regret is that I didn't order 2 or 3 front lips, as they were so cheap, as I have already scuffed mine and I know I am sure to damage it again. They look awesome though, make the front nose look more aggresive and purposeful smile

So did I...assured by your posts on the topic...again very pleased with the effect and the quality.....given the size of the box the lip turned up in it would have probably been a good idea to get half a dozen ! Mine is still intact thankfully.

Thanks Bob....good to meet you yesterday. Sorry to hear about the wheel......thankfully just a scuffed wheel though.....conditions on the way home weren't good. I was expecting you to catch me on the A421!

Sorry Andy, only just seen this; In my haste to catch up with you, 2 things happened, kerbed the rear wheel and then took a left when it should have been right,,,,not my best driving performance it has to be said. frown

It's all part of the 'Stealthy' look for 'Project Blofeld'...
