Titan Pack vs Matte Aluminium - Wheels & Mirrors

[Surrey Sam]

Ok just got the car back from a company which I found to refurbish the wheels (properly) and match the mirrors in OEM L8AU (Titan) finish and I must say that I'm really pleased with the results. Apparently when parked outside the company premises, the car was attracting a lot of good comments and appreciation. So much so, a gentleman saw it there and now wishes to buy it

The mirrors look a tad lighter than the wheels in the pictures but they aren't - it's just them reflecting the lighter cloudy sky. I also had my spare set of mirrors done in the same Titan finish, so will be advertising them in the classifieds soon.

Anyway, here's the before and after.

Looking good Sam. Is that a satin or gloss finish on the wheels?

Good news on the potential sale! It was never going to hang around long.

Looks really good now.

Cheers Gents,

Yes both wheels and mirrors are in a Satin finish. The original silver wheels had 2x cheap refurbs in their life before my ownership and were quite dull apart from the areas which flaked off the reveal the OEM silver underneath.

Up close the L8AU Titan does have a small amount of sparkle, they really need to be seen in person to be appreciated.

Looking good Sam, the results are night and day.

Those front rings look super shiny now though.

Looks perfect Sam. I'm a big fan of the titanium package and have had it on two B7 RS4's now. You'll miss it when it's gone. I hope the next car fills the void suitably.

Luke - you doing the black optics as well? Would look a little funny without that on yours I think.

Mart - Cheers, the Black front rings bugged me, so they had to go back to OEM.

Marc - Thanks. It will be weird if the deal goes through and then walking up the drive to not see a single B7 RS4 there. I can still visit the forum section to get my fix though

Looks great Sam! To be honest I think the car looks equally as impressive before and after the Titan paint.

Where did you get this done by the way? Looking to tone down the silver trims and mirrors on mine soon.

Thanks Jay. Chichester Cars Ltd did the work for me.

Tom Waller is the MD and very hands on with the day to day business and couldn't have been more helpful; taking me for a tour around the workshop and equipment, to help put my mind at ease. I've used both Lepsons and Wheelworks previously who generally are regarded the best within the South. Chichester Cars Ltd are just as good and even more capable, being able to work to the clients specific custom requirements. Something Lepsons and Wheelworks would not do.

Give Tom a call and have chat with him, tell him Sam with the Black RS4 recommended that you call and I’m sure he’ll be able to sort you out.

Their website is not quite upto date yet, but you can see some recent stuff on their FB page:
