Any recommendations for wheel refurb and paint companies near Essex (not sure how mine got scuffed??) :sad:

Lepsons? They have experience of Monza's.

Ah, sorreeee! I forgot he drives an Ed30.
Anyroadup, Lepsons have a good reputation for alloys refurbs etc.

Funny enought I had a Mk5 gti before the Ed30 with 18" Monza's and had them done at Lepsons but the polished face crazed really badly after a couple of months. Do Lepsons paint as well?

Then you in particular will understand why I powdercoated my Monza 18's, Neil :happy2:

^ Smoked Chrome powdercoated look very different in different lighting conditions ^

Smoked Chrome powdercoated looks v nice, might try that on the Ed30's was that Lepsons?

....No, it was A1 Wheel Renovation, Wolverhampton but more of a custom finish because I discussed it with the painter himself and he dusted the inserts with the Smoked Chrome over the overall black in order to get the effect.
The varied effect shows up differently on a Monza's shape than it would on a multi-spoke style like the Pescara.

Cheers RR, I'm looking at a spare set maybe Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 (think Hurdy has them) while I get them Refurbed.

When you feel the difference the Pro races make - you won't want to put the Pescara's back on :wink: The Sessanta's are superb in combination with them too :happy2:
