I've got standard gold Sti alloys on my car but I would like to get them refurbished in gunmetal grey.
Does anyone have any recommendations for places in the St Helens area?
Willing to travel up to a 30 mile radius if necessary.

That's not too bad. I may just the one my wife used (I wasn't too happy with the finish on hers but she had knackered her wheels)
Mine don't really have a mark on them other than flaking.

I was thinking that myself. I may just get the Inovit Prodrive replicas like I had on my old car.

The Micklehead ones died a death and those that can be bothered tend to head over to the SMACS events now - they seem quite well organised and I have done a few drives to Wales in the past with them :)
The Micklehead was a decent little meet (if you could put up with Julians awful jokes ;))Shame it died really. But as I am no longer a scooby owner myself (I now own a diesel :nono: ) I am not involved in the meet scene...
Try Smacs, and if you have your type r in time, get over to the Northern Big One - even if not, it's a must for scoooby fans, and the drive over through Pately Bridge etc, was excellent last time I did it :)
