Thanks chaps, day off tomorrow so may drop the old girl to a couple of places for quotes.

Trouble is where does it stop with the D2 owners "to do" list ;)

I'm on my third '8 and the list 'to do' list has never come to an end.

But isn't that what a hobby is all about? :D

I've had an indirect recommendation for Diamond Alloys near me in Northolt: http://www.diamondalloys.co.uk/ourservices.php

Exactly. Headlight refurb this weekend Jim? +++

Yep, and the final tidying up of my n/s rear lens with camera and, hopefully, the reconnection of the central locking to the boot.

Good job there's no six nations this weeknd!

Wheel refurb - 20" S8 alloys
 

Hi Sir WIll,

I now have my wheels back from Warfield Wheels and they look great. 4 standard 20" alloys for £260, tyres removed, stripped, dipped, powder coated, painted, tyres remounted, balanced and fitted.

Highly recommended. Located at Amen Corner, Bracknell. RG12 8TD. 07738 827980 if you are interested.

Cheers

Richard

Thank you for that Richard, went to platinum in Swindon and they wanted £115 per wheel which was a little more than I was expecting.

I just need to find the time to get to bracknell and perhaps pick up a spare set on wheels to use as spares etc.

They have mixed reviews but that's were I will get my wheels refurbished

wheel refurb
 

Hi Sir WIll,

I have a set of winter wheels for my D3 with 235*50*18 tyres on. If you are looking at a couple of weeks, your welcome to borrow them. S8 style (D3) 10 spoke I think. You would need to check centre bores are OK for a D2. Look at my pictures in an old post.

Cheers

Richard

Thanks for the offer Richard, will probably put the wheel refurbishment off for a little bit now as I sort all the bumper stuff out.

Thought is appreciated though.
