A couple questions about some of the smaller things...

 

What are some of the better high temp paints to use for brake calipers and etc?

 

Where can I get wheel refurbished? (Im in Reigate, Surrey - any other owners in this area??)

 

I have a load of scratches on my dash console, what is the best way to repair this?

 

The rear "strut" things that open the boot, are starting to rust, where can I get some new ones.

 

Cheers, and thanks for all the advice so far!!

I had my wheels done here

They charged me £40 per wheel. There is a pic of the finished job in my garage

 

It isn't that far from you and they did mine in a day.

You don't have to use high temperature paint.

 

If you want to paint them red then get some Plasti Kote bright red spray , it's much nicer than the Hammerite which I tried aswell.

 

Because the calipers won't be perfectly smooth I used some grey hammered finish spray first and then the bright red.

 

B&Q and Halfords sell the Plasti Kote spray paint. :)
