Need wheel refurb done on split rims, is general consensus nulook are the best people for the job? I've heard split rims are a nightmare.

I have various scrapes and scratches, mostly around the front of the car. Is a frontend respray generally best for this, or is one of the guys with the magic vans better job/cost for this sort of work? If respray, should i get a porsche-approved sprayer for provenance, or bearing in mind it's a 12 year old car is a really good indie paint shop likely to do a better/cheaper job? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Killerjim what sort of dosh for a re-spray? My spiders could do with a work over. I have had previous wheels refurbed by Lester engineering in Lisburn and they do a very very good job but it was circa £60 a corner no matter what state the wheel...!

NuLuk for the wheels for sure....

Paint work... Andy Braiden @ AutoBody in Newtownards is probably one of the best painters around.
Also, there is a painter in TK Motors who is a magical with painting. Tks would do a bit for me as I am beside them. Take a run down if you are free and ill get them to have a look at it for you.
