Very nice, avoid these from now on......

 

Not my doing mate, obviously owned by a woman driver before me I think. :rofl:

They look great Kris, who did you use and what was the cost?

The cost was just under £360. All 4 needed refurbished and 1 also needed a crack repaired. I used Nu-Luk-Wheels based in Carrickfergus. Came highly recommended by a few friends and my local tyre supplier who spotted the crack.

Very nice buddy, I'm going to do mine soon, think i'll go for Hi Power Silver tbh, noit sure what the gridspokes are colour wise.

Gonna do them myself as I'm a cheapskate LOL

Post up some before, during and after photos when you do get round to doing it.

Very nice Kris, I think you should remove your wheel nuts and give them a few light coats of silver as well just to finish the wheels off,the rust on them stands out more now,could also paint your calipers while the wheels off,sorry not a criticism just what I would do,the car look great

Yes I totally agree with what your saying and the thought had occurred to me the day I picked it up, the nuts are awful looking in comparison.

Any colour suggestions on the calipers?

Anything but red, will look like you tried to match the body colour.

Any colour suggestions on the calipers?

 

Nah wouldn't consider red myself, I'll maybe just go for the black look. :rocker:

 

Gold is a nice contrast, and subtle.

Nick.

 

I'm gonna do mine gold again one day. I changed from gold to LeMans green to match the body. Think I still prefer gold. I shouldn't have changed.

 

Love the gold paint . ill be doing mine after winter but like Silas I'm a cheapskate + my work has grit blast cabinets and glass beaders as well so its just the cost of the paint . ( I'm Scottish Si, whats your excuse !! )

Kris , your wheels look as new now . money well spent .

By the way what paint did you use on your calipers , hammerite by any chance ?

 

This is the stuff I used.. It is very similar to hammerite!!

Gold does look rather nice, wasn't expecting it to actually. lol.

 

Gold would look good with your red car, as it does with my silver ZT.. Dont think bright red or yellow callipers would look right behind apex alloys. Mybe a subtle dark blue or grey would look nice too.

 

Nice wheels. And funnily enough, nice car !!

 

The colour is High Power Silver. Alot brighter looking than the original colour.

I suspect its the light that pic was taken in, but looks more silver sparkle than Hi Power?

 

Hi Steve. Think the top picture shows the colour at its best, the bottom 2 were taken at night in a car park after a spot of late night shopping, captured on a SE C902 (who said it has a brilliant camera) definitely don't show the proper colour and make it look sparkle silver, but I posted them up anyway to give an overall idea of the new condition.

I'll take some proper ones tomorrow with the beastie camera as it should show the better effect.

 

Wasn't sure if i'd like it but after painting all the calipers and having good coments from the neighbours i really like this colour.

Well I collected my car yesterday after it was away to get the alloys refurbished.

I have to say I'm really impressed with the results, worth every penny!

Looks well, how did you find the service with Nu Look?

 

Found them very good mate, left the car in on a Saturday and they started the work on the Monday while I was at a work training course (the joys) and then got e-mail from them on Wednesday morning to say the car was ready for collection, so a very quick turnaround especially since I was told it would most likely be Thursday.

 

the car is looking absolute mint kris . flyer.:woo:

 

Thank you flyer. Still have quite a few things to do though.

 

if your going green on the calipers go X power green

- looks good on both of ours Xpower grey and ignition blue
