Lepson's wanted £300 to change the RS wheel colour. they were unmarked so NO work required, i would still have to gget the replacement RS badges also. thats why SCC got my £300 as they sorted all that for me.

Can they now do Anthracite? When I had my wagon's wheels done they couldn't, so did them black with a flake clear coat, looked very nice

That's odd you'd have to get the badges. I'd have expected them to sort that. £300 isn't a bad price for 19".

£300 ish, which is changing the colour, replacing the small RS badge, swapping the tyres as they do it on exchange,oh and a few tweeks here and there. (Autolocking which he usually charges £30 for) If Tiny is going to use them make sure they are including the badges

I sent Tiny the price, it's a fair bit cheaper than that but he would be wise to talk to you about the fiddly bits, not clued up in the RS badging cost implications ?

I think MarkB4 had STi 8 wheels done in Anthracite, wasn't dark enough for me, anthracite seems to have a wide interpretation from sort of steel grey to charcoal.
