Sirspidey Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm looking to get my wheels and bodywork sorted next year. I was looking for some recommendations. I live in west Dorset. My body work isn't to bad, just a few small areas of scratches and a couple of small dents. The wheels I think need to be black with a modern twist. Are there any nationwide company's that come to you house to do it that have reasonable prices. Also any comments on my car and what I could do to modernise it would be great fully received.

Jon812 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Personally id get some different wheels, i like multi-spokes in black. Id put a sti spoiler on and front splitter if it was me. All down to personal preference tho really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I would like to change the wheels, but the funds won't allow it just yet. I think I'll get the lower front grille. Refurb the wheels and paint work. I don't want an sti spoiler, main reason why I didn't buy an sti lol. I just wondered if anyone knows of anything different, but subtle.

Sirspidey Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thanks. Kinda like that. Anything for the front end that you can think off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Front splitter looks good http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=40_64_400&products_id=689 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I quite like that. Also fog lamp covers - I like the way it finishes the front end, but I guess they would make the fog lamps redundant? I have seen a pic of a blob with fog lamps built into the covers, but can't seem to find them for sale. Has anyone done this? Is it a diy job?

Sandals Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Front fog lamps are generally redundant anyway... I use mine maybe once or twice a year? Even then they don't make a great deal of difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 They do where I live. We seem to get a lot of fog. But go about 10 miles away and it's clear. Also most road from where I live to a main road don't have white lines painted on roads. The fogs help see the hedge. I use them quite a bit.

Could always buy the fog lamp covers, then swap them back during the winter/foggy months? They simply clip in so only takes a minute to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Could do, worth a think. Thanks for all you help. Any opinions welcome on any visual mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Had my wheels done by these: https://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/?gclid=CJfrise7jdECFYoaGwodJKEKlQ Better than new and very reasonable. Got five done for the price of four as I have a full size alloy spare. Went for a colour change from diamond cut silver to satin gunmetal. Better than new and looks the dogs. My wheels were all trashed when the previous owner put snow chains on which I used to knock the price down knowing I'd get them refurbed. Not sure if they come to you but I borrowed a spare set of wheels from my mate and dropped my wheels off. They were done within 24 hours so I collected them next day. They even fitted them while I was there which was handy. I'll deffo use them again and they are a fraction of the price of new wheels.
