Dnk Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've just called David and he assures me the whole wheel will be back to bare aluminium. If you wish to speak to them direct their number is 0121 558 0692 http://www.reevemetalfinishing.co.uk i have told them who you are so if you just mention my name it should be quite straight forward. They are based in Smethwick and only 7 miles from Ibrars so might be worth asking Ibrar if he could collect them, as i said these need to be paid for cash on collection. During the week they mainly do production runs so the best time to send them the wheels is a Thursday and they will then strip them on the Friday so they don't interrupt their schedule.

Ibrar Jabbar Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 From previous experience the trouble with removing chrome can leave pitting marks in the aluminium, which can lead to gassing. In short it's not going to be a straight forward process to get them looking good again I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Looks great! I know it would take away some of the original-ness of the car, but I'd like to see it with the inlet manifold and turbo polished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah i know what you mean mate, but to be honest its not a shiney bay like my old one was and never will be like that I've got a carbon fmic plate to go on it shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Finally sorted out my new suspension - original HKS Hypermax 2 coilovers. Will be getting low n dirty soon !! It's going into SRD soon for some TLC, including a Service, carbon fmic cover, freshen up of the do-luck undercar bars, new red wheel nuts and interior lighting Then its off to get the rear arch sorted - just trying our best to match the colour perfectly which is no easy task getting the red flake the right quantity but the guys are on the case!! Lastly a full Geo setup and then it'll be all set for show season and DragonBall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just heard from the bodyshop, potentially great news is they think they have finally, after many weeks of testing and trying, managed to match the (almost impossible) paint code for the arch Hoping to wizz the car down there early next week to double check and then it'll be in .....
