Well trying to find a place to paint mag alloy wheels isn't as easy as it might sound!
Ended up with a place in Yorkshire who specialises in them, Ian Jemison Engineering. Not a bad price either, strip the wheels, crack test, powder coat all for £60 + VAT a wheel.
Obviously these aren't my wheels but this is the yellow they'll be......and my tyres have arrived ...should grip well with these on.
All the new bits are going to be are Yokohama decals replacing the Michelin ones,Yokohama ones to the tyres. a couple of Yacco decals, a couple of Santiveri ones and a larger Santiveri one on the top of the spoiler.
Car is being raised 3mm which won't be noticeable and brake calipers are going to be graphite grey instead of yellow.
Have to say that although the car isn't in what might be called stealth mode, I much prefer the understated look of the calipers in grey as opposed to the yellow there were done in.
Have managed to get a dash top and a pair of A pillar covers from an esteemed member on here, the idea was to get them flocked.
Then had a bright idea of them being covered in Alcantara, would probably look much better.....then a quote of £1100 landed in my mail inbox!
This brings up the question...anyone had their dash top flocked?...or any other interior parts?...if so how do they look and what's the longevity like?
Chances are I'll end up going the Alcantara route however, thought I'd ask re flocking.
I think I saw that ‘black Ambla interior thread’ and had my head turned.
My Vee already has Black/Silver Ambla Recaro CS seats and black Ambla door cards. I felt the dash & engine covers need to match. Hence the existing flocked dash doesn’t feature in my plans...
