Thats funny you should mention that I got my deal Brockered if you will thru Bauer Millets......I was offered a Red 06 by American Dreams and it was sitting in Bauer Millets .....He was saying he was coming down to pick it up.....I actualy saw the Red car there in the Showroom marked up as SOLD I told him I was going down Friday to view the Blue one.....I had a Neb at the Red one .......but went for the Blue.......Coincedence ...........Possibaly They do look the Business!
Getting polished alloys refurbed is a bit of a challenge. I damaged one of mine on my C6 and could only find one place that would do it (near London). Their first attempt was dreadful, second is OK but not perfect (it looks fine in isolation but isn't as highly polished as it should be)...but I just couldn't face another try with no guarantee of success (3 days off the road each time). Not very helpful, I guess, but then again if you're getting all the wheels done it'll be less of an issue as long as they do all 4 the same.
Congrats Ken, it's looking good.
There is a place in Sunderland Scalled SEM that have been on the go for years now. I took my daughters alloy there, which was in a bit of a state and it came back like new, this was just from a corsa though, so not a polished alloy, but maybe worth a try
I also live in the NE and have a Z06, so if you fancy meeting up just drop me an email.

Thanks for that folks......5 USA I had the Front door fitted LeMans Blue to match the car it was Red last week!!............I'm in Cleveland so I will ring SEM and see what they can offer might have to let them Paint or Powder coat them.....It's a Shame ....I was talking to BlackZed off CCCUK [C5 ZO6 Chrome wheels] he took his too ROMAX they are not intersted and then on to Cleveland Chroming and they struggled to strip and copper plate his because of the Width.....and these things are even Bigger! Akeithj Yes we will have too meet up....I had Dave Sullivan who has a Black C5 Z06 round yesterday I'm down Nr stockton on Tees where in the world as it were are you..........Thanks for the comments
Tried to e-mail you Keith I can't as a new member ......Yours would'nt be Black....if it is you could be responsable for my Lust to have one.....I had gone to Helmsley about a year ago in my Victory Red C6 as we walking down toward the Centre a Black Z06 came down the road.........Had Huge presence ....Just made mine look a bit Lacking and from that day.......I had to have one.......and if it wasn't you then I have to hold someone else responsable.....LOL
That is the only one I had seen 'Fleetingly' until I visited Bauer Millets and saw MINE!!

Le Mans won't cost you that much, probably 5 tanks of fuel from North East to Le Mans and back, a Eurotunnel crossing is usually less than £150 plus you could stay either at the Corvette dorm or camp!
Don't forget to book up for the Corvette Nationals and also Corvette Fame in Holland.......you only live once

Hi Ken,
Yes I believe that would have been me in Helmsley. I have two favourite driving routes which we regularly take, both of which involve going through Helmsley. If your previous car was red and was parked by the side of the road I remember the day. I have had my car about 18 months now and have never seen another Z06 on the road, except when I went to the Nationals last year, so you are joinging a pretty elite group - LOL..
