I previously refurbished a set of 18" ETA Beta wheels for my coupe, but the colour came out a bit dull.

I finally got some better paint mixed and spent best part of three days last week refurbing them.

Happy with the result!

Also, I have a new work car to play with. It needs some TLC, lots of bits i'm not happy with. Suppose this is part of the course for owning an Alfa. rolleyes

Wheels look fabulous, really suit the car thumb


Horsing around's a serious business.

cheers people. Phew, thought I was not going to get any comments after all that hard work!

Fixed the EGR on the ALFA today as was jammed. the build quality on the coupe is better surprisingly.

Block off the egr. Saves you a lot of problems. Where's the Alfa logo?

I'd read about blocking the egr off. The Alfa badge was faded badly like a lot of them. Bought a de badged replacement.
