Had my Dunlop winter tyres fitted this morning and all wheels re-balanced obviously.

Got home and the wheels came off again, tyres masked up, alloys rubbed down with coarse and medium scotch pads, pre-paint wiped and then given a few coats of rattle can Vauxhall Sparkle Silver paint (Halfords rattle cans) to freshen them up. They were very tatty and curbed, they look a lot better now! Certainly not perfect, but much cleaner and fresh looking

All refitted with new black wheel bolts

It'll get a decent deep-clean snow foam and wash tomorrow & hopefully a good wax to give it a fighting chance over the winter!

Done that job on mine, that metal plate is for rigidity, the bolts holding it in are supposed to be replaced once they've been undone (just saying, I didn't do it on mine)
