I didnt take any before photos but will of the next wheel to do. They are not that bad so all I had to do was sand the rims and some of the centre bits that were chipped. Got halfords to mix some paint that matches the body, used normal alloy wheel silver for the rims. Masked up which took ages then primed, top coat then laquer. I also did the hup caps the same as the chrome finish on all of them looks really tatty. Painted the wheel nuts as well. If money was no object I would have had the rims polished and the centres redone too but its not.

Nothing wrong with saving the pennies mate. Family and TVR and house renovation and I'm finding it difficult. My daily is a 17 year old focus whilst my Trev waits patiently for some much needed tlc Gassing Station | Wedges | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
