curbed alloy !!!

Post by Jamie84 » Sat Nov 24, 2007 5:19 pm

Bloody gutted , curbed my alloy cause of some fat lorry on road, basically forced me into the curb. Went to powdertec? ( the one near the kingston bridge in glasgow ) and spoke to the guy , he said he will sort it no problem . I know a few guys on here have had there rear diffuser done by this guy but has anyone had wheels done ? I have agreed to do only one wheel but not sure how different it will look from the other ? should i just get 2 wheels on same side done ? my current wheels arent actually that old just dirty .

done a little more research , i know exige wheels are "satin black" , i am very unsure as what to do as the wheels arent actually powder coated in the first place .

surly someone has damaged exige wheels what did you guys do?

Murray's have a guy who can do it. Not sure of cost but he's bloody good. You can't even tell he's done anything! Will look like a brand new wheel.

The first set black set were fine, finished Matt Black the second white ones have some parts that are poorly finished and the third time one of the wheels came back buckled :shock: Not that i think they buckled the wheel but they gave it back without any indication that it was fcuk after trying to balance it out with loads of weights
