any recommendations as to where to have my comets refurbed?
Steve from the essex meet
Whip the tyres off, sand em down and spray them yourself ;)
does that mean i would have to come to an essex meet twice lol works out very expensive lol
[quote=The Flying Moose;474992]Whip the tyres off, sand em down and spray them yourself ;)[/quote] not just the spraying its the kerbing mate
I think wheel works uk in Crawley are very good. I'll be using them as soon as I stop finding other places to spend my money!
[quote=t5frankie;474994]not just the spraying its the kerbing mate[/quote] Drill + flap sander? Must be worth a go surely if it saves you £100?
[quote=Stedman;474999]I think wheel works uk in Crawley are very good. I'll be using them as soon as I stop finding other places to spend my money![/quote] too far for me
[quote=The Flying Moose;475001]Drill + flap sander? Must be worth a go surely if it saves you £100?[/quote] no mate i want the finish to look good and last
[quote=t5frankie;475004]too far for me[/quote] Maybe a courier job
[quote=t5frankie;475005]no mate i want the finish to look good and last[/quote] Fair enough mate.
I am very happy with BJV Engineering who have done a couple of sets for me now. But they are in Hertfordshire so again too far / courier required.
i do get around being a lorry driver to certain areas anyway
Do you have a pefection alloys in your area? The did an amazing job on my bbs craters. They weren't just curbed, they had lots of corrosion and had a slight wobble at 65mph that 2 tyre places couldn't sort properly. Looked brand new after they had finished with them and cured the wobble.
if you ain't in a rush send them by vpcuk courier then pick them up when you pick up your spoiler................kerbing etc no problem, all repainted in 2k paint.............pm if interested
BJV did an 'ok' job on my dad's wheels. Finish wasn't incredible but then again, I can't remember the price he paid :)

[quote=t5frankie;475045]how much mate? looking at getting my engine done first[/quote] all 4 wheels ............inside and outside £75............need to take tyres off if you want rims done properly.............
[quote=t5steve;475058]all 4 wheels ............inside and outside £75............need to take tyres off if you want rims done properly.............[/quote] whos to take the tyres off? you or me?
[quote=t5frankie;475059]whos to take the tyres off? you or me?[/quote] i can take them off but would have to go to tyre shop to be refitted to avoid damaging rims............best to have them rebalanced as well......
[quote=t5steve;475064]i can take them off but would have to go to tyre shop to be refitted to avoid damaging rims............best to have them rebalanced as well......[/quote] its just there will be different tyres going on than the ones that will be coming off

Go to BJV Engineering near Hemel. I get all mine done down there plus they do a good deal and do my Aston Martin wheels:-)
Hamish knows a guy who does mine - but properly - grit blasted & poly coated in a wide range of colours. Just did a set of canistos at 50 quid a corner. Quality job. He also did my chrome silver Comets, which you've seen on Betsy.

BJV in Hemel will also want £200 or thereabouts.
steve and his £75 seems the most appealing
Just seen this Frankie, you can drop them at Bannings just under Spaggetti Junc (easy drop lol) £35 a corner they done the Mrs Volans a couple of months ago great job
