    Wheels have been there 10 days now. TBH I think thats about on the limit of what can be classed as an acceptable service. Should be 5-7 days max really. The excuse "sorry were busy" shouldnt really apply as why would you take on more wok if you cant complete it?


    Come on guys, pull your finger out. Im wanting to bring some wheels down there soon as well!

    I will be very happy if you do them tomorrow. I know sometimes its busy and is not enough hands for work but you knew we bring our wheels on Friday the 1st. I don't mind if I own another set of wheel for my car but I don't.
    Maybe this very sad picture give you -ah kid some energy to clean the wheels tomorrow ;)

    She's seating like that 10 days now :banghead:

    Your wheels are done and finished in high build zinc primer , if you want a finished coat on them you can bring your own and do them yourself or leave it with me and I will finish them tomorrow, I will wait to hear from you , many thanks a very tired and dirty ah kid !!!!

    I was there after 3pm and the guys told me you were away in Peel all day. If you made my wheels after its great surprise for me and I really appreciate that. I didn't expect you spend some extra time in the garage to finish them. Would be nice if you paint them black but I don't know are you able to spray them or only brush them? Tell me how much that will cost me.
    Thanks again :) :thumbleft: :thumbright:

    Hi , I was there tonight till 7 pm doing your wheels !!! I can spray them black for you ? That will put your wheels to about £ 20 each plus the tyres balancing ??? Do you want Matt black ? I think Matt is the best paint for that kind of wheel ??? Regards Darren
