renewing alloys wheels

Postby julian1968 » Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:07 pm

My tourneo wheels (03 plate) are looking rubbish

Can I get these renewed and what should it cost to have them done

Thanks

I noticed that my local vauxhall dealer does them for £45 p/wheel :shock: , but if youve got some free time, etch/primer, topcoat and some lacquer, Id do it myself :D

Trouble with the Mk6 wheels is they are 2 tone, I have seen a set that had been refurbed but only done in silver and they looked very odd.
