oh sweet! there's like nothing wrong with that.... hmm might shoot into repco and really scrutinize what they do have lol Exactly what kind of paint is it? Is it an enamel?

if its a duplicolour your after just tell them wat u want and how long it will take to get it in. usually we should be ...

+2 on this, ive herd a multitude of horror stories.

ok got some questions for those of u who know a bit more about wofs.

my mums car went for a wof today and passed



so one of the inner cv boots is completely in two pieces and was after the last wof

the tie rod ends boots are also split

theres no power steering fluid

theres oil ...

use a bluetop 16v or fe series threaded bolt to fit the oil filter......

yea poster 1 i think u need to bit the bullet and just pay the ticket. as others have said it might not hurt to give it a try if ya want. but....

i got a ticket for no wof one day (fair enough i dont dispute that) i got given the ticket for $150 and away i go. on a tight budget so start saving ...

wow maybe take it to some different places for a quote i had two repaired and it was like $30 each

Make sure you put the reg on hold

regos actually on A class so should be allright. and just looked on carjam and wof actually only expired 3 months ago so not too bad but my ex has had it untill not long ago and he really abused it. hence the state of the mags.

id rather spend $400 on ...

Put some more air in the bottom tyre, looks a bit flat imo

Yeah those are pretty bad, nasty nasty curbs!

yea needs more air its off the rd at the mo coz its had no wof for about a year and got no reg. the front of the car is also sitting at full height on a jack so thats probably not helping ...

yea thats the real question what do u think the others would be worth? i paid about $2000 for the set brand new when i got them. i dont really wanna fork out for another new set of mags and dont really wanna get some off trademe that have dents or marks for the same as what it would cost me to get ...

ok this is the mags at a distance. this is the best one i think there's pretty much no damage (there's not as many spokes as there could be lol)

the passengers side front is really bad most of the pics are of that one ...

pretty deep was expecting something pro wise.

ive never done anything to mags b4 so dont really know whats available what works and what kind of finishes are available?

ok ive got a set of mags on my old rolla which i quite like except that over time and mostly my ex they have gotten pretty badly curbed its mainly just the two on the passengers side.

anyway my question is what the best/easiest/cheapest way to fix them? they are shadow chrome (i think) but im not ...

hahaha yea that too. at least one up point for the mazda i guess. I would have preferd the rolla bit it had no wof or reg.
