There was a group buy on this effect not long ago but I think It fell apart when the prices where given on parts

Must state tho it wasn't from the op's mentioned company

ive asked that a few times mate, no-one seems to know. I've searched around online but can only find prices at around £100 a wheel.

Looks good, I was looking at the quality of Jura's megane only last week but it is pricey. I'm ripping my carbon wrap off and going down a different route

what does it mean by "carbon effect" ? is that wrapped or dipped? Looks good, tempted by the classic interior kit especially as its double din like mine.

Had my rims done a while back. I can put you in touch with the guy and perhaps he can do a group price for dash bits
