General Car Chat / Re: POWDER COATING SPORT STAR RIMS

Can't argue with that  :y

There's a place in Crawley that does wheel refurbs, price varies according to requirements and wheel size, but for a set of 18"s recently quoted £260-360 depending on how quickly you want it done...
MadHouse quote varying rates depending on rim size £280 for 18'' rims

Doings lots of tidying up around the house, also some external maintenance, clearing roof gutters, cleaning moss of roof slates. Removed old tin shed and have another shed arriving tomorrow, stripped the grass from garden ready for putting down artificial grass, received a ton of sand at roadside last week, had to bag that all up and into front garden. Extending the rear garden patio so finished yesterday building formwork for concrete base (not using sand), put new galvanised steel borders in. After I have put the shed up done the lawn and paving then will be to rip out 3 fence posts, repairs existing fence panels and put in new posts. So not been that busy really. Been pretty ruthless clearing stuff out and binning it. Just waiting on materials most of the stuff for the patio on on 11 May, Shed tomorrow, artificial grass and weed barrier by end of this week, have everything else.

And to top that have been suffering with gum infection, over four weeks, on pain killers for over two and a half weeks, had enough come Sunday morning and seven days after my first call to 111, called 111 after talking to several people eventually got an emergency appointment, now on anti-biotics, Happy Days, had the appointment in Charlton, only took me 12 minutes to drive there, normally it could take between 30/40 minutes.

Anyway that's what I have been up to during the lockdown in between working from home.

General Car Chat / Irmscher centre caps
« on: 21 April 2020, 07:07:52 »
So my centre caps are a bit of a mess, and you cannot get the same ones, with the I logo in the middle, I bought the last one available on e-bay. Irmscer have the centre caps but have irmscher on them rather than the i, but wait for it, they want £30 for them and then £15 postage. So I started to remove the shiny coating off one of the existing caps and have given them a fine sand (with the wifes, 240/240 nail file), and they have actually come up Ok giving a brushed steel look. Realised I have a dremel in the shed somewhere, dig that out today and finish the caps off.

General Car Chat / POWDER COATING SPORT STAR RIMS
« on: 21 April 2020, 06:57:09 »
So went up to MadHouse tyres yesterday assuming was going to leave the car with them for 2 days to have the rims powder coated, told me they could not do them because of the fancy screws and when they take them off they sometimes break etc., etc., wait to see the boss when he comes in tomorrow. I advised him they screws were steel and if was such a big issue just powder coat over them, anyway will call them this morning to check what they say. As far as I am concerned they can powder coat over without taking them out if such a big deal.  was going to have a go taking them out myself, but there are a total of 60, 15 per rim, and if one broke off then would be fubarred, so in discussion with my mate in Dundee we both agreed would be best to just leave them in a coat over. I welcome comments on the executive decision that has been made.

Thanks again folks - stay safe!!!

Anyway back to the thread, Yes I am still a member of ABS

114
Well had the ABS/Pump replaced the other week, left it until was fully conked out, good to have speedo back and no dash lights on, picked the car up today from the body shop, front bumper re-sprayed following the ASDA delivery van reverse into me last year, had one door panel re-done and passenger rear quarter panel and a bit of rust from rear passenger wheel arch dealt with also, Oh and had the brake  re-sprayed all looking good, next get the rims done.

Oh and also about to get rid of all that sticky crap off the window buttons and fascia buttons, isopropyl alcohol and lint free cloth, works a treat but can take the finish off completely showing through to the white plastic on the edges.
