Bit Of Mirror Polishing PG39

Yeah they are 100% meant to be complete.

As you said, dont open the packet as they might think you have lost the insert.

cheers chap.. I will give them a tinkle tomorrow

Guy

I
Thought you meant an insert inside for fitting not the gear numbers on the top  :dontknow:

Chris

Thats what I thought, I must have miss read it.

Im sure they will swap it straight away.

I may be able to help here..I ordered one of these and the first one arrived with no centre plastic, so the parts bloke sent it back in disgust, and got me another...maybe you ended up with it!

Ridgeway Reading rang this morning… wanting my chassis number to check that the right part was being ordered with Volkswagen spares… wtf?

Should be able to just order it off the part number surely?

you would have thought that wouldn't you? i've told them what you lot ordered.. but they won't take my (our) word for it.  :dontknow:  

No matter what the guy sais. He cant stop you walkin in and saying 'can I order this part number please'

It doesnt matter if you wanted to fit it to a ford, you want that part number and thats that.

If you get anymore grief ask for the manager.

Failing that paypal me the money anf ill order one my end and send it to you.

well that's what i did originally… but it came sans plastic insert thingy

I will see what they say and if they say that's how it is supposed to be then I will get a refund and might take you up on your kind offer  8)

No problem mate, just let me know.

I got a call from them first thing this morning… they spoke to the factory direct and surprise, surprise it IS supposed to come with an insert  :roll:

they have ordered it in, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow morning and I can exchange it  

thank you for your offers of help and advice / thread hijack

Woo hoo glad they sorted it for you mate.

Im suprised they originally thought it didnt come with the insert.

Right then.

Picked my wheels up from the polishers earlier today.

Very happy with the results.

There were a few little marks on the rim that looked like kerb marks which were to deep to fully repair so were improved as much as possible.

Anyway here are some pics I took earlier after giving them a few coats of rimwax.

























Disaster happened on the way home from collecting the wheels.

Started to hear a little rattle from the front of the car which went pretty quick then started to rattle really badly  8O

The exhaust is blowing quite bad from the front so that means a trip to longlife sooner than planned.

The misses bought me these today, VW valve caps and keyring  

Whoa - get the shades out… BLING!

Is your exhaust knackered, or could it have just poped off one of the clamps or something? Does yours have the big swivel joint with the "C" shaped clamps?

Are the wheels a shade too bling and if they don't work out will you fit spinners?

Why not a good set of BBS RA's?

Tim

Tim there the original wheels that came on the Rivage so why would I want to change them?

Also they were polished as standard so all ive done is had them them refurbed.

Yeah spinners will be next!!!!!!!!

How come you always got a stinking attitude???

If you dont like them then look elsewhere.

flip me! They're awesome! Locking wheel nuts for those babies me thinks!

This is inspiring me to get polishing!

Good work!

Why not a good set of BBS RA's? Because it's a Rivage and he's keeping it standard

The le castelettes are origionsl to the car.
I wouldn't put BBS RA s on a Rivage if your trying to keep it as standard as possible, these were mirror polished from factory.
