Refurbished Wheels, Full Clean Underneath, Quick Drive Now Ready For Bed......

Last week I had my Fuch's (7 & 9" 930's) Refurbished by Exel Wheels. The result is fantastic in every way. The wheels are first stripped back, Lightly diamond cut then the centres & backs are powder coated in satin black then the rims are sprayed with satin lacquer.
Extremely happy with the results.
Whilst the wheels were away I cleaned the whole of the underneath. Not pleasant but worth the effort.
Put the wheels back on today & went for a quick spin seeing as it was nice weather here. Car is now ready for it's winter sleep in the Carcoon (When I fix the puncture............)
Roll on next Spring

What a stunner. I don’t ordinarily like red cars, but yours is exceptional.

Lovely! Shame to put it away for a winter's sleep.

The wheels look great, however I would not have chosen powdercoat. The thickness of the coating hides cracks that would normally be visible in painted finish.

Unfortunately salt tends to go down from November/December to March Bloody awful stuff
