Title: A1 Wheels
Post by: robern2 on November 27, 2011, 04:26:43 pm
My thanks to Nigel and the guys at A1 wheels for another top notch refurb, this time on my Ed 30 rims which are now sporting a chrome/silver powder coating (reminiscent of the Mk4 Anniversary colour).
In my opinion the colour contrasts perfectly with the steel grey paintwork.

Nigel, I’ll be back early next year with my neighbours BMW splits

Doctors sort that out, not wheel refurbers  :grin:

A1 are about a mile up the road to me, they have done my wifes Lupo GTI wheels, and sorted a small graze on my wheels too.
 Nigel is a top bloke, and the work is spot on.
Will be taking my CH reps to them to get sorted after winter I think.

The Caliper Specialists in Derby, should take a full day to turn them around.
