Yes I am fine when Tickover have the car as you know it’s in safe hands but outsiders OMG I am like laying at night thinking I wonder if she’s ok should I drive down and check they have not just left the car outside . But she was parked next to a Aston Martin indoors so happy days .... also the tyres seem a lot quieter and feels better on the road but that just might be me . I do like a car with new tyres .
So price chaps hope your sitting down the wheels and 5 Center caps were £477 and the tyres were £236 . So a grand total of £713
I told the wife it was £10 a wheel
She’s now booked in at Tickover for MOT and two small jobs in October then I will tuck her up for a winter sleep . Ready to play in 2020

Makes me feel better about my Fishnets now
Not cheap but as long as you are happy that's the main thing
I won't tell you what I sold my 15's for

Can’t take the cash with you so they say
yes don’t tell me how much you sold them 15s for .... I would have to add £100 fuel on top so should be safe .

I did think about getting new wheels and as Andy said looked at 15” but I do like the Capri with that German engine wheels and also she drives so nice . But from having painted that I know had already been done to getting a full powered coated also they had the vehicle was the job for me .
Wait for what I have planned for my next project . And no it’s not the stainless exhaust quite yet
but a little quieter then that black Capri that shot past us at Sainsbury the other week
On note was your dad’s face behind you I could see what he was thinking
Andy I still have not mention about you hanging limp to one side but I am saving it

The old man was loving it - he's jealous he can't get any of his cars as loud! I appreciate uts not for everyone but it does sound the business

So had a nice surprise today , I got a phone call from the place that did my wheels saying I had been over charged and I am due a refund .
She said I should have paid the quoted price of £377 so they have refunded me a £100 back .
What was a good result as I added a extra Center cap after the quote .
So well pleased , going to be warm and sunny Saturday so will have a lazy drive

That's a better price and more realistic
Nice that they were honest with you too
Make the most of your drive today the wet stuff is on the way

Result!
That makes the total cost around £80 per wheel, and as Andy says, that's about the going rate for a quality job.
