Morning Gents,
A long time since I have ventured in these parts and trust all the ole faces are well.
It's time to move wifeys car on and assistance would be appreciated...
1. Obviously value. '07 3dr manual in Steel Grey, with a pretty decent spec including xenons, privacy glass, cruise, parking sensors, comfort and sound packs and 42k on the clock.
2. Being female owned the alloys are shocking. Is it worth tidying them up and what will it cost.
3. I guess Pistonheads is the prefered choice for folk to seek cars of this ilk.
Many Thanks

As for refurbing the wheels ,Depends where you are in the country , I would say midlands go to A1 in wolverhampton or down South Lepsons in Gillingham both do outstanding work.
Cost around £300 for the proper job.

Being from wolves and abit of a dodgy lad myself let me give you abit of advice don't trust a1 wheels kidda. If having powder coated wheels they don't even dont even do them on there own premises instead send them away to city powder coats in brum who charge £20 quid a wheel then return them in 3 days charging u around 400 quid for the lot. Not a bad money making scheme if u ask me ay. :wink:

Thanks gents.
I am based in Suffolk so any suggestions would be greatly received ...... Regarding the wheels obviously and not crunching carrots or sleeping with members of the family :smiley:

Not sure on value, but Pistonheads would give you a guide. Then post up in the For Sale thread on here.
And given you've been pretty objective about the wheels you could just reflect that in the description and price (slightly) accordingly.
The car sounds pretty nice and it has that much sought after Xenons option on, presumably factory fitted.
Good luck with it.

Many thanks and yes Xenons are factory fitted.
I will pop a sales post up this week if two enquiries do not progress.

What is the difference if factory fitted or not for Xenons ?
