'Hello, could you tell me we warranty you offer on your work, erm...well.. it depends, on what?.... well how bad they are but typically 12 months, oh OK, well you did mine 9 months ago and the lacquer if peeling off and the surfaces are pitted' oh OK well I will have to speak to the boss'
Several calls later and they where NOT interested at all in sorting out their **** work. Would you like me to post up some photos of what a Wicked Wheels job looks?
EDIT: These guys where based out of Manchester, avoid, avoid, avoid. Try asking around on http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/ for recommendations, these guys are anal about their cars and I got recommend this company http://c21dws.demonweb.co.uk/smp/wheelclinic.htm

Have only read two posts from you this morning so far, and both very negative...
steve184 said:Tough.
I was pointing out that in my opinion no repair will be as good as original - hence if it were me id buy a new wheel. I don't see much negativity in that comment.
Things like this you can only go off 'what you hear' how else can you judge on who can do the job and who can't?
Dunno what relation this has on the S3 tho? Guess thats just another opportunity for you to point out that 'i can't help but notice that my car is considerably better than yours!' ala harry enfield.
