Wheel refurb

Post by AnubisZed » Wed Apr 24, 2024 2:14 pm

Afternoon all,

Well it's needed it for some time now, but finally I've had my wheels refurbished to as new condition :driving:
After not being able to sort anything out with another wheel refurb company in Lincoln I decided to try Soper BMW (Lincoln) as they'd previously said they do that sort of work (actually it goes to a company called Halo Vehicle Cosmetics, who are across the road from Soper). Very happy with the results, they look brand new 8) and yes they were in shocking condition before, but with very little curb damage :D With the addition of a (very cheap) set of copy wheel caps, will try to get some genuine ones at a later date, but they look OK for now.
Next on the agender is the replacement of the front bumper, which was damaged two years ago, so that's well over due as well :thumbsup:

Did they take the tyres off the rims or just push them back?
