[Mk2] [Generic] Before and after

[MRV6]

I've been after a set of gram lights 57 pros for many moons. I managed to track down a set at the back end of last year. My intention was to remove the lacquer, get the lip re-polished and keep the spokes gold. After several coats of nitromos, well nine. The lacquer would not budge, so I decided to take it to a local wheel re-furbishers. We had a con flab and I decided to go for a chrome powder coat. I originally wanted to go for the chrome lip and either bronze or gold spokes but when I saw the finished chrome article I was well impressed and decided to keep them as they are.

It's a chrome powder coat. Depending on what you want and wheel size, mine were £50 a wheel. Very happy with the results.

wondered if this car was still about, spoke to you a good few years back at a japtuner meet at nissan.
which wheel place did you use? i've just had mine down over at cold hesledon for £40 a wheel and i was looking at that same chrome finish, not for mine but another mate with a similar problem to you

When do we get pics on the car?

[MRV6]

Sorry quite a few pics.











Car shrunk when I washed it.
