[mrcyeo]

Where's the best place to get my spiders refurbished? I've done a search and nothing comes up! Cheers, Mr C

I dont know about London but I just had mine repired due to outside edges having been kerbed (last owner)they were dipped, blasted, powdercoated then heated, Laquered and then heated and they did a fantastic job.

Should be getting mine back from Newlife tyres in Edinburgh. They did my Dads Aston and was very impressed. Will see what my spiders look like this evening.

Here are a few pics with refurbed alloys from Newlife in Edinburgh. Was very impressed with them.

Yum, wish they were closer! Can I ask how much it costed, I've been quoted £65 plus vat per wheel so far.

I've just had mine done at Esserworks in Broadbridge Heath. £250 for all four inclusive of the removal and refitting of tyres. I dropped the car off to them and borrowed their loan car. Collected the car three days later, job done. Great job! http://www.esserworks.com/

that's a real good price you payed
normally you have to deliver the rims without tyres and have them put on afterwards yourself
that's besides at least € 40 a big newsense
and
i still see the TVR mark on the rims
had mine refurbd and the mark was gone

Yes, I was pleased with the price and the service given.
I lost the TVR logo on mine too. I recall there was someone selling the transfers but can't remember who it was.

Newlife in Edinburgh were £240 or £250 including removal of tyres and wheels and refitting. I can't remember exactly as I had a new set of Toyos on the rears at the same time so added up to a bit more.

I got the TVR logo's off someone on here last year and for the life of me can't remember who it was. (senility is kicking in methinks).They are just stickers. My previous set I bought off of Hexham Horseless Carriages for pennies and they lasted for 8000 miles and they still looked brand new before I got the wheels re done.

I use http://www.myalloys.co.uk/ in Basingstoke. Fanstatic job, very nice people. I think it's around £55 + vat per wheel all in. Check out their gallery, they did the wheels on the white Tuscan. You do lose the TVR logo but can buy them from Racing Green.

[S6 Devil]

Just bought 4 TVR logo stickers from RG. £4.60 all incl.. Bargain!

[mrcyeo]

Already got the stickers, just need to sort out who's going to do the job!

What finish is that since it looks like a wet finish to achieve the sparkle, when I had mine done i had to make my own sparkle by paint additives?

I have used these before very good http://www.pxwheels.com/Wheels/index.php?brand=TVR

I think they put the metal flake in the paint and then it is laquered and baked to harden.
