Thanks Andy, it's through no skill on my part but I will feel better once they go on and they look as good on the car. Got them done at a place in Wakefield.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback. :thumbsup:

They look fab now! Much prefer the darker colour. A bright Titan Silver type colour is so standard... these make it a little bit more unique :)

It's a shame nobody would take on the work to re do the original finish as I think it looks great. Shouldn't really be that hard to do, especially if the only damage was around the centre caps as a localised repair could have been tried quickly and easily imo. That said, I can't say I blame a company for not wanting to try, especially when they can blast and bake so many more sets in the time it would take to do this.

New ones look nice though and a change is no bad thing :)

I agree the original finish was really special and I was surprised that I couldn't find anyone to repair the small areas of damage which I believed to be the lacquer deterioration more than anything. I think it bothered me too much so I just took the plunge with a change.
