Post by: gazbutS3 on April 17, 2009, 07:22:09 pm: how far away is Tonbridge Kent, I've no idea being a northern monkey. Spit and polish are they and they did my MTM's before I bought them and the finish is spot-on

Post by: matsu on April 18, 2009, 08:43:59 am: thanks mate- a bit too far to drive leave me car there for a week ish and get back.
the guy i,m looking to do it is a motorbike custom specialist so i know he,ll be good just a bit more than i wanted to pay and gotta be without a car for a week or more and i gotta get wheels to him tyre free and ultra clean-(side note should i use clay or tar remover to prep them for him?
i emailed him last nite and tried to get a few other bits done for one price.
fingers crossed :jumping:

They sure do! Still an option though! :surprised:
Title: Re: Wheels back!!
Post by: matsu on April 19, 2009, 07:15:21 pm: i,ll look into those price wise but i think if i can get these ones done fairly cheaply then i can spend more money on some spoked luverlies...like bbs or something similar
like these alot

Post by: matsu on April 22, 2009, 09:08:23 pm: hi guys
i checked out another alloy place in southend. he thinks its a prob as mine are monzas and not diamond cut like the monzaII's.
this means lots of masking and therefore time and therefore cost.
but he is very good and i think i,m gonna go for it,but not till june.
and ive just seen a set of 20's in 3 colour flip-silver/purple and blue... sounds awful but they were stunning.huge and just WOW!
cheers
