Where can I get a polished/painted G60 rocker cover??

[JMC 0]

I am wanting to replace the slightly ratty rocker cover in my G60, and was wondering if anybody sells these already coated/painted/polished. I seem to recall rumours of someone who goes to No-Rice, but can't remember who it is. Any advice most welcome folks.....

Get yours powder coated. Painting just flakes off. Cost me £30 to get mine done and only takes a day normally

Cheers Blue_Joe, I'll have a look around here to see if anyone can do it. I presume it needs to be well preped first (stripped, cleaned, sanded etc) before coating??...

Normally they will prep it! They did for mine all in the cost

You could try Trimsport, they cost around 70ish for a polished one, but it's a top job and comes back looking like a mirror!

 

I almost didn't wanna put mine on!!!

you could always get a 2nd hand one an polish it up yaself?

Cheers guys. I was wondering if there was anywhere that I could buy one, and then when I swap them over I can send mine back as part if the exchange. Will have a look at the Trimsport page...

You might also try the king of bling - rocco-jocco. :)

 

He's based in Swindon and seems to be able to polish or chrome just about anything. He was the guy with the lovely white Rocco on BBSs parked up by the Corrados at e38.

 

 

Lovely chap

 

His mobile number's in this post selling some wheels.

Cheers Billinjahg60, how much are you after for it?? It seems as though the places that can do the polishing need one to work with, and as mine's a daily driver that's not really an option.

[JBOB 0]

Davs has done some work on my car and its top quality 8) he might already have one that he could just exchange for you.

Nice one, will give these guys a ring and see how much they are (and if they already have one in - unlikely, but better check). I'll let you know, billinjahg60... Thanks guys, Jon
