I enjoy it, and find it satisfying when they're all done and fitted. I guess it depends on the design, kerb damage and whether you're up for some summer evening DIY. Of course, a spare set of wheels for the car to run on in the meantime comes in handy... Edited by NEIL, Sat Jun 13, 2009 5:42 pm.

Depends on what needs doing of course - if your wheels are extensively corroded/kerbed, he may need to have them bead blasted/machined first. Anyway, his attention to detail is spot on (not something that can be said for all refurbishers unfortunately), and he's fairly priced for the quality of his work. Tell him that Will recommended you and I'm sure he'll look after you Will

Member Posts: 2,080 Group: Members Member #458 Joined: August 15, 2006	Hi Lee, He's in Surbiton/Kingston You'd need to contact him for pricing as I guess it would depend on several factors - i.e, whether or not there are tyres fitted (I took the rims to him bare), what prep needs doing, whether he does the work mobile or not etc. Has a great reputation amongst the MB owners/clubs etc Will
