Hi folks,

A wee while ago I posted up about going for a new wheel colour and if I should got with paint or powder

coating.

In the end I went to speak with Jim Biggam at

JB Coachworks

54 Well St

Paisley

0141 842 1465

Jim has done some top notch work for me in the past and the choice of paint colours was endless.

I knew I wanted the wheels darker than standard so we ended up with an Alfa Romeo colour.

Here are the obligatory pics :lol:

Before: standard wheels

After:

And yes, I haven't changed the date/time on my camera ;)

They look mint mate! :)

don't spose you know the paint code do you? :rotfl:

I don't mate, sorry. I'm sure I could find out though. Thought the colour was a Gisalo something but

looking at Alfa cods on t'internet, I can't see that :P

Looks much better!

How much were they to get done if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers,

Rab

£240 cash. Might seem a lot but I thought about paying something like £40 a wheel for powder

coating and thought the extra was worth it. Knew I wouldn't be getting a quick one coat from Jim.

They look good B)

I had mine powder coated gloss black and love how they look against the silver :D

It does look good, doesn't it B)

Looking braw Richie B) just need to lower it now :)B):D

Mmm, you may have a point there Gus!!! More mods!!! :P;)

Coilovers obviously helped but the splitter fills the gap nicely :) . Just plan ahead for any journeys!!!

Did have an issue when I first put it on with The Boss saying, 'If I want to go to Braehead (ie multi storey)

then I'll go!!!!' :o

Thankfully that hasn't happened. It's been scraped a few times but a coating of silicone spray brings it back nicely.

HT Autos £99 :)

Just need to get some anodised wheel nuts to finish off I think.
