its probably a bit too far away from you but there is a chap down here in ayrshire that does a FANTASTIC job, i have had two sets done, the latest just collected today, they were absolutely dead before i gave him them to do and now they look like they are straight out the box !!! so good infact i sold them 30 mins after collecting them and got top money too

the most recent set were powder coated, i think they have turned out much better than the last set which were sprayed, i can honestly say they turned out even better than i thought they would.
