Ben... Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 £160 for refurb, powder coat, tyres on and off and balancing. Called BJV Engineering, they're brilliant used them for my old alloys. They come up top on google when you type wheel refurbishing IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4nz0 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Pumaspeed. Wasn't impressed with the quality of the product at all. But was spraying it anyway. So didn't mind doing a bit of work on it as I knew I would of had to prep it can I ask what it is about the front spoiler you weren't impressed with please? After all, it isn't a cheap part!

Chris Ecc Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I've got one of them front spoilers, got it from a friend who had it from Pumaspeed; hard to explain but does feel cheap considering the price! Ben, get them 17s in Anthracite! Done it on mine and I love the look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben... Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 can I ask what it is about the front spoiler you weren't impressed with please? After all, it isn't a cheap part! The lugs that the holes are in aren't evenly cut Sharp edges Imperfections on the visible face Horrible finish on reverse from the mould (not a problem but could have been neatened up) Doesn't come with rivets (I bolted mine on anyway but still) I've got one of them front spoilers, got it from a friend who had it from Pumaspeed; hard to explain but does feel cheap considering the price! Ben, get them 17s in Anthracite! Done it on mine and I love the look! I'm getting them refurbed and powder coated tomorrow the same colour as i had my 16's so they match all my sprayed plastics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I've got one of em front spoilers on the way to me..... hope its ok!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben... Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 I've got one of em front spoilers on the way to me..... hope its ok!! Only a couple of small imperfections on te visible face. I just wasnt impressed overall. Do not mount it 20mm forward like they suggest. It looks crap. If you go back a couple of pages where I've posted about spraying and fitting aeroblade and look at it. Thats 20mm forward. Then look at the most recent ones with the car clean. That's where it should be. Looks much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 you're right, there is a big difference, and the first one does look silly! I'll not be putting it on for a wee while until I get it sprayed alongside plastics, but thanks for the tip, I'll refer back to here when installing.
