Chrome lip alloy refurb - Kezzer30 - 29-03-2013

Ok so recently purchased some deep dish alloys with a chrome lip for my 205 , i bought them 2nd hand and got them for 220 delivered with no tyres .
The alloys in topic are 15inch autech deep dish split rim style alloys

Now they turned up yesterday and 2 were ok but 2 had some bad damage on the outer lip

So today i decided to have ago 1st ever Attempt at a refurb , to do one of the worst 2

Here is how it started

Very nice work mate!

To save time I suggest you do what that bloke did on youtube with the chisel.
But obviously dont use a chisel use sandpaper, should save you loads of time and arm ache!
