Million dollar question...... :popcornsoda:

Can A1 refurbish the BBS pescaras back to almost OEM colour??  :smiley:

If they use paint, Id say yes they can. If its powder, Id say its highly unlikely.

With all the recommendations for A1 on here and needing a set of Monza's refurbing, I decided to give them a call to book mine in. I didn't catch the blokes name I spoke to on the phone, I did ask for Nigel but he was busy, but he was very helpful and knowledgeable. I'm taking the wheels up Tuesday and he said they should be done by Thursday and they will fit and balance with my new PS3's... They did ask if I required loan wheels whilst they refurbed mine, which I don't but still good of them to offer this service. Will post pics of end results when I get them back

Totally forgot to update in here lol... I would highly recommend them after my experience. They refurbed my Monza's back to standard colour for me, and couldn't be more pleased with the results... All the blokes there are great and very helpful. I would definitely use them again.

I haven't got any pics of the wheels before they was refurbed but all of them where curbed. Below is how they was when I got them back (only Iphone quality)

They do look stunning how deep was the damage, was it just kerb rash or was it deeper?  Just wandering how much surface was needed to be removed in the refurb?  :happy2:
