... of some TLC, so I wondered if anyone has any recommendations in the Cheltenham area who could: - 1/ Refurb the 18" RF split-rims 2/ Sort the vertical dent [obviously caused by another door ] in the passenger door  3/ Sort a number of minor paint blemishes. Thanks p.s. I did post this plea a few days ago on "another forum" but with nill response  It looks like nothing changes, 'new cars only' still appear to rule over there!  ------------- Cats know your every thought.

2/ dent in door now sorted  by a local guy - Paul Morris http://www.thedentclinic.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - The Dent Clinic and also an additional ding we spotted on the same door, for a very reasonable price - recommended.  p.s. he has also given me contact for wheel refurbish - based in Tewkesbury - 2nd recommendation I've had for this firm, so looks good but I suspect expensive  - but you pay for what you get. ------------- Cats know your every thought.

who are http://www.reinventingthewheel.co.uk/faq.html" rel="nofollow - Reinventing The Wheel So yesterday met up with Will who advised that someone had already messed around with the wheels and done a 'naff' repaint job. Booked in for next week for a full refurb at £125 per wheel + £60 for the hubs + [the dreaded] VAT = ..... £672! It'll be worth it [won't it?] , after all "It's only money"  ------------- Cats know your every thought. But don't care. |

Hi Neil, oh yes, great fun - especially when you press the 'sport' button  Son #1 didn't want the top down on the way back from Snetterton [wimp ], but I've done a bit of top-down driving since so wind in [what] hair [I have got left] time ...... But you know me, a purist, so the bits that are missing need to be replaced or repaired..... it'll be worth it in the end  ------------- Cats know your every thought. But don't care. |

p.s. she should be back with her lovely 'new' wheels by the weekend, so if she is I'm considering coming to Gaydon, do you think I'll be able to sneak onto someone's stand? ------------- Cats know your every thought. But don't care. |
