If you google powder coat colours there are 100s to choose from so I would think that one of them has got to come pretty close to Sparkle Silver..The wheel specialist do a range of factory finishes or maybe one of the high metalic finishes would be closer to Sparkle but I havn't studied them as I'll probably go for something non standard.. Cheers Ian

Re Redfive, I dont think anyone is questioning your intentions and I m sure we are all grateful for your efforts. I hear their finish is good, but then BV Engineering do the same proper process too. I did have data protection issues with the Fareham branch a few years back. On their side is if you are local then factoring cost of driving somewhere else, they could still hit the right price. Personally I am never keen on companies that start high and then you can haggle them down very easily, reminds me of certain double glazing companies! |

Thankfully (or not) I'm not currently in a position where I can afford to get them done yet, so have a little time to do some research! |

I have booked Blue Thunder in to have her wheels done with the specialist in Bournemouth on This Friday. I will be attending the Bridgewater meet on Sunday. Photo's of the wheels before and after I will post next week.
Many thanks to Ian for going to the trouble to get this going and arranging the discount.

Firstly, let me say how disappointed I was to read the overall reaction to your offer and what was obviously very time consuming on your part. Although I am an avid club member on the forum, mobility issues make it difficult to take part in meets. That being said, I still have my opinion. It takes time and effort to sort out, and offer to arrange discounts, and a possible visit. Unfortunately the topic of the post got a bit lost amongst other peoples her'say deals, and wheel protectors.. I would love to be able to attend meets (POOLE PARK ) but as I said, mobility issues dictate otherwise. Mobile members should be very grateful that not only can they attend, but someone like yourself are prepared to arrange. Phew ! That's better. Got that off my chest. No offence meant to anybody but I do get a little upset when I see well intentioned efforts seemingly going down the plughole. Well done Ian, keep up the good work, and if I do make a meet, any of you can come over and gime me a good kicking trimani (Alf) |

Ditto
I agrre 100% with Alf,s post, I live in Taunton around 12 miles from Bridgwater, but cannot attend as my role as Carer takes precedence, in saying that I hope the meeting is a great sucsess.
Well done Ian. Derek

Got Blue Thunder back and the wheels look the dogs wot sits. The centre caps went a different colour so they have kept them to re-do. Ian has lent me a set for now. Once I have cleaned the car I will get some pictures posted via Pete.
I have collected some flyers from the company to give out at different events.

Thanks Pete.
The Centre caps are borrowed from Redfive. Mine are being re-done by the wheel specialist as they were not happy with the result. Collecting them later in the week. Top picture is the refurbished wheel 2nd picture is the wheel before And the last picture is Blue Thunder relaxing in the sun.
