rimblades to cover mild curbing.

Anyone used these to hide lightly curbed wheels? I dont want a fancy colour was just thinking silver would just hide the damage. Do they stay on ok?

[ChrisRs]

Not for me Mike

I have heard of these coming loose and damaging the car

[mikejay]

Bugger. I have some curbing that really bugs me but cant afford a full refurb at the moment. Any other ideas or just dont look at it? Lol

You could give chipsaway or autorestore a call as they do a refurb service which will be quicker and cheaper than doing a full job, which might solve your problem.

That sounds promasing. What do they do just fix the damage rather then do the full wheel?

[ChrisRs]

Just a cosmetic job

Will do until you can afford the full refurb

If you go down that route, I'd be very interested to see some before and afters pics, and costings.

[mikejay]

Anyone have a rough example of cost?

This is why I'm glad I only pay £30 a wheel for a full refurb!

Alloy Gaiters are a little more expensive (£100 fitted) but they actualy do the job of protecting your alloys.

30 quid a wheel will130787? Who did them?

[Cleo]

Or grim and bear till you get enough for a proper refurb, I think that's what I'd do

Gators are expensive but good I guess, never had them and don't know anyone that has

[cl coupe]

I might think about it if they did some that looked the same as the chrome style edge that is cut into the original wheels (mk2 Fab VRS black alloys)

Got a place I've used in Stockport Mike if that's any good? How much were you thinking of spending? They're £55 a wheel inc tyre removal/refit and a proper job. Dipped, sandblasted, powdercoated full wheel refurb etc.
