Alloys

[gemlp82]

I've just had my car dropped off after having the alloys done.

When I dropped it off to them it had the Subaru badges on each alloy but its come back without them. Should they have been able to put them back on?

Done as in refurbished? They should have unless they damaged them taking them out. I’d ring them to see where they are. 

[gemlp82]

yes refurbished. I will thanks.

[Mattb]

If they are damaged and you need new ones you might need to get them sprayed black as new ones come silver or primed. Unless you find someone who paints them to order. Good luck

@gemlp82 plenty on eBay in alsorts if you need 

[gemlp82]

Thanks both. I phoned and they had them. They also wanted me to take it back to get the wheel nuts tightened more as they said they dropped it off before it had chance to cool and couldn't tighten them properly. Problem solved!

Got you thanks - they are closer, will take a bimble over

Was it your hatch I saw a kford alloys earlier in the week when I popped back @Jay762or another local? 

[Jay762]

Grey R sport (no scoop) and might have been if there were no spaces at Fort Knox out front....

Fortunately it is not the scoob alloys that need work - just splashed on some OZ's to replace x3 pot hole bent originals - looking at getting those fixed but didnt know how extensive the damage was before sourcing new ones

Running these now so can be recognised

 

[gemlp82]

Yes that was the one I saw. Those alloys will look good on it!! Bet it was painful when pot holes damaged the old ones though. 

I'll look out for you and give you a flash if I see you about! 

[Jay762]

Yup holes are getting ridiculous - KFord tyres reckon they can sort the alloys at £45 a corner as they were not cracked, they have bought a new machine purely because of the amount of damage they were seeing coming in.

Likewise ill keep an eye out
