refurb

I refurbed my steering wheel for only £15, I do like a bargain :thumb:. Bought a kit from these fine people Buffalo. Quiet easy to do as well. Should have done it years ago but thought it would have been a more complicated procedure. I did the gear knob as well, might do it again and spend more...

Hey all, My girlfriend has a mint w168 evo 2.1L 2003 36,000 miles and she's been told that the MANUAL gearbox needs replacing! She's been quoted the following: New clutch and gearbox = £3,315 fitted. Refurb current = £2,500 (unknown if they can fix, and an assumption that parts won't...

The missus has just badly kerbed front and rear of our SLK 350. she hit the kerb at about 20mph avoiding some nutter coming the over way. The alloys are the 12 spoke 18" does anyone have any idea of cost and a decent place to take the car to get it done? we live a stones throw from MB World...

Hi all just thought i would post what i did to my wheels they cost about £7 each to do. The rims were quite damaged due to kurbing nicks in the center of the wheel the rim was cleaned up by hand starting with 60 grit paper and finishing off with 120 then 400 grit any really deep dinks which...

Hello, I have just fallen victim to a pothole and I need an alloy wheel to be refurbished (and the car is less than 1 week old :( ). Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alloy refurbisher in Guildford / Surrey area? Thanks Philip

Hi, First of all I went and test drove a C63 AMG DR520 at MB world today and all I can say is I really really want one... after I get rid of my slk that's what I will be getting hopefully, maybe not the dr520 though as they are just collector's item. The car is not fast it's a bloody...

As a few members will know/have seen my rear alloys have always been in a terrible state since I bought them. As only the 'rim' part of the wheel had damage and the rest of them were fine and I always like to have a go myself, I decided to have a go and refurbing them myself rather than getting...

Dear All, I have my new (well new to me) E55 AMG Estate, it's a 2004 (54 Plate) in silver with factory privacy glass. The one thing that slightly put me off the car was that at some point in it's life it has had the original wheels replaced with turbine wheels. They were fitted at a MB main...

Hi guys, In no rush to get these refurbed but does anyone know of somewhere with a good price that will refurb them? Thanks :D

Hi, I have a set of 17" AMG oz racing alloys. Anyone know where a good place to get them refurbed is? (preferrably in Surrey) :dk: Need a full refurb as in, EVERYTHING!!

I will shortly have a spare set of 16" Elnath rims - 7J ET37 from a 2001 W203 C270CDi Elegance. They need full refurbishment as the first owner of my car must have frequently parked acousticly - they are kerbed but refurbishable by a reputable company like Lepsons. If you go to Mercedes alloy...

Hello all, I am looking to restore my dads car, back to the standard it should be. Firstly I noticed front bumper rotting and rusting rotting under the back chassis under the boot. Interior inside the car is damage, and im looking for basically a whole refurb of the car. Does anyone know...

Is it possible to refurb MB alloy wheels ( cosmetic damage only; rim scuff, scratches) on site within the day so that the car is not off the road longer than that? If so, can anyone recommend someone within 50 miles of Banbury? :dk:

Hi All, My beloved car is suffering from a bad case of scruffy alloys (mix of a bad refurb job done when sold to me, kerbing and peeling paint) in short - they look awful. Can anyone recommend a good company in/around the Edinburgh or Glasgow area to revitalise all 4 alloys? Also rough...

I just got my car back from an alloy wheel re-furb, All 4 wheels done for £140..00. My car was in for just over a day and i am well impressed with the finish.:thumb: If it goes pear shaped in the next few weeks i will let you know...:doh: Friendly guy called Davie..07858 118 618. Located just...

Need to get wheels refurbed on both our cars and the prices are frightening. Local guy who does them at his yard but pretty sure he just rubs them down and then paints them wants £50+ vat each, just rung spit and polish and they want £62+ vat each 4 wheels £293. Now maybe i am being tight...
