I'm badly wanting to go Ollie, but i have no idea if i will be home or away then.

My last job was last year, I got home on the 10th Dec and been home since.

I'm not complaining like as I had loads to do in the house.

Hopefully fortune will favour me and I will get to go but only time will tell.

Nice one Delboy! Can't wait to see some of these...i'd also like to restore TPMS (all sensors were removed as they were due to be replaced)...those little things aren't cheap!

In regards to refurbing wheels, I was thinking about powder coating them but that then leaves the issue of the centre caps.

What have you guys that have done wheels in the past done about them?

I bought new centre caps on both my D2 18" sport rims and D3 20" FEs... Well worth it if you're completely refurbing them IMO

if the powdercoat is similar to the existing colour then should be OK, or as Oli says, new ones.
