I saw this one on the Bay and it looked interesting - it looks great now. Need to get my wheels done - yours look so much nicer. Where and how much for your refurb? Thanks for comments about my grille. Will have a wide selection of these for all occasions! Have posted details on this elsewhere. These R's are a wonderful thing.

yep quite handy with a rattle can, came to about £60 all in, that included having the tyres taken off and on balanced etc.

[smudgethecat]

I know its a old shed, but fair play its looks a sight better than it did, just shows even a old smoker can benifit from a bit of TLC well done

[Rhys]

Cracking job! Was looking at those grills but not struck now. Think I'll be taking mine off and painting it black or might just buy another standard grill to spray up instead (in case I make a balls up lol)

[RollingThunder]

Thats a cracking job you've done there. Did you cut it by hand or use a DA polisher? It gleams like new - hope mine turns out as nicely!

Good job with the wheels too - I was quoted £60/wheel at a place in Leeds, but refused to pay that! Might consider giving them a go myself now... (anyone know if a 17in rim will fit in a dishwasher? :D )

Keep up the good work :)

i t-cut it buy hand im too tight to buy a polisher besides i need the exersize,lol, the wheels are easy to do but you are best to take the tyre completely off the rims, time is the only factor to a good job really.

[steve954]

for all you people out there who commented on my grill i got a new one today been sprayed up black, i will put the pics up tomorrow.

[The Flying Banana]

you are happy, we are happy , everybodies happy lol !

It will look tremendous now once thats on, small details like that just make it !

[cameron]
