Hi guys,

Got some bumps and scrapes on the alloys of the new mx5 I bought and was wondering if I could ask for some help in revamping them

What do I need for them and where can I get it?

There's nothing major so I dont think I need any filler, but again, if I do where can I find such a magical item?

Thanks

You thinking of a total respray? or running repairs??

I guess a total respray, as shiny as I can get them

because tape doesn't stick to tyre, deflate wheel, put wide masking tape between rim and tyre, sticky side to tyre and re-inflate.

That's amazing. I didn't even know you could do that. How do I get the chrome-finish paint? Can I just walk into Halfords or something? Can it really be that easy? PS. Love the step by step guide - especially the detailed information in the latter frames.

Rims can be powercoated too folks, makes em like new but can be a bit pricey.
