I understand about doing copies,but when one of their UK distributors asks for help for one of it's customers they could at least send a sample pot out.

Welcome to another Northwest member. There is a big show this Saturday at the Trafford centre,a few of us are attending. See JDM Allstars thread if your interested.

Yeah passanger side gets condensation in it.Just whip the wheel off,remove arch liner,take sidelight and indicator out and give it a blast with my car dryer.Job done.

Mine done by Paul of Dreamcustomz.They dont flash but thats not for me.

Thanks Mike. Will see what they guy I have used before comes up with Friday,would be nice to get it sorted before the show on Saturday.

I think Volks customer service leaves alot to be desired.I have a guy who I have used before coming Friday morn who deals with BMW,Porsche etc.He has refurbed standard wheels with no trace and seems to think he can match it from what I have told him,fingers crossed.

Good idea,will see what the wheel specialist come back with.

Looks like i will be jacking the car up on Saturday if its visible.

Thanks mate,the gash is not that big but i can spot it over 3 fields.

Tell me about it Martin.Had bump with rear bumper and exhaust knocked out of line got that sorted,then kerbed the wheel and on top of this front ball joint on banana bar has collapsed which needs doing before MOT runs out.

The Wheel Sepcialist in Manchester looks a good setup but they reckon they would not get the finish bright enough to match.I have just fired them another email to see if they can just do the bead all way round as close as possible. If this fails looks like a new rim.Car is turning into a right nightmare at present.

I was in tears when i did it,what a noob.

Mine goes in on Monday for the Banana bar,ball joint has collapsed on it.The noise is like a creaking noise when turning the wheel when stationary,sounds like an old cart.

Had a bit of a disaster with my front passanger wheel.Caught it on a kerb and put a gash about an inch long on the beading on the rim. I have tried a couple of places Revive a mobile repair guy and also been to The Wheel Specialist in Manchester and they reckon the colour will be hard to match.The colour is formula silver. Anyone know of a very good refurb place.Oh Volk wont give me the paint code as its against company policy.

Bloody hell Dave,you could go on holiday in one of those.

Stunning car.

Looks mint James. I will be having that bumper myself in the future,but have spent far to much on the car in the past 12 months.

Mike just printed the ticket off and it says invalid code on it.Is this right?

Yeah they will fit,thats what i run.

How fast can you get hold of it Alex.

Yeah but how hard was the colly to remove.My Swissvax is very easy to take off.

Aleady been in touch with Alex,he only has drivers side.He can get new ones but he is ony £10 cheaper than dealer.

Looks awesome mate. Front looks really low,60mm looks about right.How do you get about with the front bumper?

Had car into dealers on fri with a creaking noise coming from nearside front suspension.Turns out the ball joint on the banana bar has collapsed. I thought oh will only cost about £200 tops with labour,how wrong was I.Cant just buy the ball joint,I have to buy the whole bloody arm.£550 fitted the robbing ba****ds,but it needs doing as it will fail MOT which is due this month. How come every time something f**ks up you can't just replace the part that's gone. Rant over,good job I am going on my jols in 2 weeks.

You would probably be better off buying the Supernatural,even though it's more expensive it will last longer. I have a pot of Swissvax Best of Show,had it 2 years and it's still half full.So that's will work out at £30 a year if it lasts 4 years which it should.
