Well whatever you do don't get them refurbed where someone just uses filler and sprays over the polished rim...besides destroying the polished rim (grrrr) mine are now really in a state, they blistered and some of the paint has flicked off and there's lovely yellow patches underneath...niiice.

Did I mention I'm getting a lovely new Cooper S with lovely new R90's next month......softens the blow a little

I remember you saying you had hassle with your refurb Louise.......

CooperID · Jan 26th, 2006, 08:44 AM

Aiden.. this place is 100%... they'll stand over them for a year too

Mini Lou · Jan 26th, 2006, 08:44 AM

Ya, I'm past caring though, I just keep thinking of my shiny new ones!

With Barry providing the steelies, this might be a goer alright.......

mad brummie · Jan 26th, 2006, 09:07 AM

go for the super charger Bart

You might need some suspension mods tho! LOL

CooperID · Jan 26th, 2006, 09:19 AM

Aiden... This is the crowd in Carrick... The guy who runs it is called Jason Pollock. They used to make lifts before they did this, but you do a search on google for nuluk or nu-luk wheels you'll find loads of car forums which have personal account of their work... basically they're not the cheapest, but they do a very good job

Give them a call and see what they say.... Also helps to say that you were recommended by someone

it is tempting, seems it doesn't even affect the warranty either. I'll probably wait a year or so though, but I'm sure I'll do it. Muscle cars need muscle, right? ... and I did just have the Roush performance lowering springs put on...
