Can anyone recommend a good garage to recondition alloy wheels in the Aberdeen area?

The alloys are actually in good nick, its just a couple of them have marks on them from something reacting with the alloy, is possible to repair this type of damage?

Alright leys,

You should sell that hairdressers merc and get a proper motor... i am thinking about getting a new car btw so i will sell you the golf

Or if you insist on driving the SLK you could get in touch with barabus and get a nice set of loys from them, cost shouldn't be a problem for a man your claibra

ps i know it should say calibre.....

Boyner.

Alright Boyner,

I am sure my folks would be real happy when they return from the states to see that I have sold the merc I am still not sure if I will drive the car when I get back, still very tempted to buy something of my own. But at the moment it makes no sense to spend a load of money on a car when I only going to be in Aberdeen for 12 - 18 months.

So, what are you thinking of buying?

Did Foz buy that Honda?

Well you sold your dads jag last time he went away so i don't think your ma would even notice if hers was gone

Foz has agreed to buy the CTR, he left a deposite on saturday - very nice car it is as well, so nice infact that i am looking to get a CTR, not the latest one, i prefer the look of the last one althought it is only a jap import so i will have some investigationg to do, ken
One thing about the CTR that foz was looking at was the noise, it was ******* mental...that was the clincher i think...

Anyway, back to the wheels..you could try John McInnes Tyres in Dyce when you come back but i dunno if he will be able to get the same finish as is on them at the mo but it's worth a look..

Boyner..

Cheers Boyner, I will check out all the mentioned places when I get back. As i've agreed the deal now I should be back in the deen before the end of the month, So a few beers will be in order.

By the way, I've just noticed that theres a RB5 for sale in the Scotland section, now that might tempt me

Having seen a couple of posts on the scoobynet; I am considering saving my money and buying the U.S model of the MY03 when I get to Houston…

I could have a lot of fun with that car
