Scottish Elises

Got around to having my wheels refurbed last Thursday - On the advice of a few on here, I took the car to Pentland Powdercoating next to Ikea Edinburgh, and made avail of their 'same day service'.

Essentially you drop your car off between 07:30 - 08:00, collect a courtesy car, and return around 16:00 to pick up your car with the work complete.

I had a new set of tyres to fit, and they were happy to do this for me, provided I disposed of the old tyres.

Price was £240 - That included remove tyres / blast / repair / powdercoat in a colour of your choosing / refit my new tyres (with new valves & balancing) - You just return the courtesy car with the same amount of fuel you picked it up with.

Don't have a before picture, but imagine generalised kerb rash, fine scratching all over, and a dodgy Dunlop runflat with a big egg in the sidewall

After:








Pentland Powdercoating Limited
Unit 1, Pentland Industrial Estate,
Loanhead,
Midlothian, EH20 9QH

(And sad to report - They no longer have the courtesy Ka - It's now a '14' plate Micra... )

Looks good.

Anyone used these guys recently?

Had a quote of £90 for one wheel from the "Wheel Specialist" at the Gyle which seemed steep.

Pentland Powdercoating currently doing 4 for £180 or £54 each.

I think Andy G used the wheel specialist for his Aston wheels, he was happy with them from memory, but £90 a wheel is expensive! PPE have done customer cars for us when I was involved with SLS and they always turned out well with no fuss

i've had issues with wheels done by the wheel specialist at the gyle and the franchise in east kilbride too... doubt i'll use them again tbh

Thanks both

Obviously varies with location.

I had the Aberdeen Branch do my spare set of Exige wheels for N3, £240 with new tyres fitted delivered from Ronnie, disposal of old ones, and an excellent job indistinguishable from new.

My bro rates PPC.

Just to say thanks very much to Pentland Powdercoating for a top job. Really happy with the result:

Very happy with the result and a good bit cheaper! Highly recommended!

Looks like a good job Ed

Also that must have been a big kerb considering the height of the damage. What happened?


Steve.

Not sure to be honest. Bought a full set from a breakers yard so I would imagine the damage was caused in the accident that wrote off the car.

As Campbell said above I was very impressed with their service, price and quality - will definitely use again.

Only bug bear for me was they didn't have a card machine - I had to run to Sainsbury's to get cash!

You'll be glad to know that they do now have a card machine.
