R wheels refurbed....finally!

[LeeT5]

Evening all. Picked my car up Wednesday afternoon and absolutely delighted with the results! Powdercoated in Carrs Anthracite which is a medium Anthracite. The light Anthracite was the same as Volvo 932 and it would have clashed with the calipers and the Dark Anthracite was too dark. So i went with the medium. The car has yet to have a full paint correction thou it is the final thing on my to do list. Unfortunately, what with having 3 new calipers, front brake pads, clutch, dmf and slave cylinder, front end respray, steering column U/J, 4 new tyres and 4 wheel alighnment totalling £4192 (in the last 6 weeks)...i'm now skint. So it will have to wait until after TRAX. Gonna enjoy driving her now for a wee while.

So here are the photo's of the wheel's after refurb + new Dunlop Sport maxx RT tyres:

Lovely job. Mine are too dark and I plan to get them re-done lighter later in the year.

Yeah, Stu said you were there then. He wan't to use your photo for his website home page. You have my blessing fella.
What was yours in for?

[Al115]

Yeah, I promised him I'd send through some pictures of the 3 V70Rs in his workshop! Thanks for your approval, now I have to find out who owns the other one :)

Was in for suspension work, and diagnosis of my cruise control issue.

[T5RPete]

Oh my that looks good!

And I really love those wheels!

I think that photo of the four Volvos in the garage should be deleted forever, anyone would think they are unreliable...

[Al115]

I won't post this one up, then...

Now, now! Let's not lower the tone :nono:

For starters, mine was in for wear 'N' tear items not cos it broke down. Al's was in cos he has not long had it and wanted Stu to give it the once over :wink:
The other Sonic was in for a service as was the S40.

That's that covered then.

I think the other V40 was in cos the S40 was scared! :firedevil lol. Thanks for loving the wheels thou.
