Ebized Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Guilty! although a little while back I did have to take avoiding action as a pedestrian stepped out without looking and I quite badly damaged the front nearside. Time for repair. When I bought my previous ZED with the standard alloys all fours wheels were skimmed around the outer edge giving a bright lip and for the 18 months I had the car I had no problems with deterioation and kerb 'nicks' were easily removed by careful rubbing down to get the pristine lip back into top condition. With the Rays they are a bit more a challenge but I decided to use the same wheel repairer. Great guy - Kevin Corbett who hails from Ireland who races bikes (Ducati's last year but now Japanese bikes to keep costs down) and he loves ZEDs into the bargain. His carries in his van the equipment to do the work, and there is a spray booth. In my case the wheels come off and to get the fantastic finish so I now have Rays with a bright lip - all 4 done for consistencey for a little over a ton in about an hour and I am well pleased. Heres some pics: close up of the polished lip: and one of the rear wheels: I'm happy If anyone wants to contact Kevin send me a pm for his phone number. No website on his card - gets all his work by recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Looks good. Very subtle but you see it glistening in the pics! Very shiny car too. What's on the tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 What's on the tyres? Grecian 2000 No idea really - the wheel restorer sparyed some liquid stuff on after putting the wheels back on the car. I use Autoglym Tyre dressing normally - much less shiney.

H5 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Looking good. Just not sure how the already vulnerable Rays will cope with extra exposure regarding corrosion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
