Alloy refurbishers in Scotland

[mudfish]

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can refurbish M3 19" rims in Scotland?

Reside in Edinburgh but will travel anywhere to get the job done well.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I live in north Kent...near us we have a very popular refurbishers called Lepsons. I have used them 4 or 5 times now (not because I dink my wheels but when I buy new cars etc) and they are FANTASTIC. Cannot recommend highly enough.

They are literally down the road, but whenever I've been there and spkoen to them they always say that most of their business is mail order...i.e. post them your alloys and they post them back.

Just a thought - I recommend them so highly, as I know others do, that it may be worth giving them a call to find out.

Just looked for their website.....it's www.lepsons.com/ (quite predictably )

My brother got his Camaro wheel refurbished at a place near Dalkeith I think. We were quite impressed with the quality of the work. Kept all of the original detail on the wheels, plastic logos, etc but still managed to get them looking better than new. I ask him for details.

I've had my alloys done on various cars by MRM Coachworks. They've got a place along the road from Murrayfield (on Roseburn Street) and also one down Leith. I usually deal with Martin but thankfully (touch wood) haven't had to visit them in some time!

Their tel is 01313375566

Cheers,

I sent my quattro 20v alloys to "Pristine" through a local agent (Aberdeen) as did a few other members of the quattro owners club.

Highly recommended

Thanks all, there are so many to be geting on with.
Someone has told me to be careful as the finish may tarnish after 9 months or so.
