Best Shops in Christchurch to polish alloy wheels?
evil_elmo replied to swordfish's topic in Wheels & Tyres
not sure about getting wheels polished but i can highly recommend elite wheels for repairs got 2 wheels fixed by them before and they made them just like new -
my car has one of these kits and i always wondered do they work well? and are they bad for your tyre if you want to get the tyre repaired?

amazing car!! is the boot really made from cardboard??
-
a service is about $4XX depending on what needs to be done, brakes are about $1600, coils $800ish but you can always go aftermarket parts now and dont have to take it to a bmw dealer great car to drive with a very good chassis.....but i have driven the new range of bmw's and man they are even better lol

we have a 05 320i (e90) had it coming up to 5 years now and the first three years when it was under warranty was great with no problems.....after the warranty it was problem after problem from front brakes, rear brakes, coils, oil leak, window washer, door handles, air vent....etc the car now has only done 37,000km!! i dont have any real advise, our car was purchased from bmw and has been fully serviced from them, so getting a pre-purchase check would help

thank you we always wanted one like this and this way we dont have to spend any money making it look this way!! thanks for the tip, will upgrade to 165's on the next tyre change do you know what type of engine oil would be best?

I can recommend bridgestone S001, great amount of grip
-
Thank you for all the replies We spoke to the owners and they have maintain the car very well, only rust found was under the windscreen and he got that repaired. It sounds like they have not spared any cash on it and truly looked after it

i think Hammonds one was a john works cooper, it had bigger guards than his one if i do get one i wont be winching anything with it
-
thanks elmarco seems like rust is always a issue with mini's no matter what year it was made in. As for the other faults i know of a good mechanic which can take care of any leaks around the engine

Tyres: T1 Sport vs V12 Evo vs FK452 vs NS2
evil_elmo replied to kiwijunglist's topic in Wheels & Tyres
your tony's sounds good, my local one is very pushy and everything is a add on costi purchased a set of re001 about a couple of years ago and were very pushy with the sale trying to add on wheel alignment, tyre disposal cost, new tyre valves. I even had to push them to waive the fitting and balancing cost when all other places were built into the price they quoted overall i would rate their service as poor -
Tyres: T1 Sport vs V12 Evo vs FK452 vs NS2
evil_elmo replied to kiwijunglist's topic in Wheels & Tyres
tony's will only price match if you go to them with a printed quote from the cheaper shop....as if the cheaper shop is going to give you a printed quote....save your time and hassle and just buy from the cheaper shop time and time again i find tony's NOT the cheapest and its best to ring around -
