These did a great job on my BBS wheels John

http://rsalloy.co.uk/home/2623254

They do a lovely Audi silver which is what i had done on the lips of my BBS wheels then they done the centers a nice metallic silver.

I get all my powder coating done off Drew at stella blast in Chester le street he does a mint job but he wouldn't touch split rims so went to RS alloys instead since the wheel specialist wanted £400 to do them

What are the centre caps made of? If it isn't metal beware they'll fall to bits when blasted then melt when baked if powder costing them lol I'm guessing there ally though

SETS OF 4 UP TO 17" - £190 from RS alloys and i think stella blast is around £200-210

Plenty of pictures on there site and FB page. Loads of the VW lot use them.

So i made some shims to get it perfect and dropped the pass rear a tad more....

Took some pics with my cousins r5, also removed front flaps



















Hense why i didnt bother straightenning steering wheel


Plans are:
Respray in same colour and tidy a few bits up
Refurb wheels lighter silver - not rushing will do it over winter
Clear indicators
Pull bumpers flush to bodywork and satin black

Yeah the front panel, passenger side has a big dent in it.

I call that the bumper, as in modern cars that is the bumper. Not a piss poor bit of metal running across the front.

to be fair, that looks quite smart (your one). When you mentioned the wheels etc. thought it was going to look a mess but you've done a decent job.
