Hi,

I removed the disks from the front wheel to paint it, and a couple were so knackered I had to drill them out.

Can anyone help me out here please....?

I have a couple of disc bolts you can have - where you want them sent?

Just our of interest - how difficult are they to drill

what a pain in the butt job, usually held in with retaining compound, best to heat them up to soften the compound first as your undoing them, too late now i guess.

Have you painted the wheels yet? I was thinking of touching mine up, but wasn't sure how to go about it. Mind sharing how you did it; prep, type of paint, etc.
Thanks

Hi,

My wheels had been painted over the originals, and had some chips too.
I feathered out the chipds with 240 wte and dry, and also gave each wheel a sand down to remove the shine and give the paint something to hold onto.
I then washed the wheels in degreaser, and wiped them with a waxed cloth (paint prep cloth) prior to a friend painting them with gloss black 2pack paint.
They look great, and only had minor marks when the tyres were re-applied at a tyre warehouse.
All in all, for £40 of paint I did all 4 wheels with a load of paint left over.

Hope this helps
