Hi guys,
I have just bought my self a RS4 (
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=120961) and am looking at improving the aesthetics with a tint and refurbing the wheels in a darker grey. I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for getting this done. Ideally someone that is located in London, close or will drive out to meet me.
Thanks guys.

Hi Jonytek, welcome to the club! Where abouts in London are you? I had mine tinted in the South East area so if you are around my way I can help.
Pics of mine are here -

I also need my wheels furbed but not looked into that yet. Let me know if you find anywhere decent

Lessons seems to be the top firm close to London.

Thanks Mike i've been in touch with Lepsons (I assume this is what you meant when you wrote lessons) so will be getting it in there in the next couple of weeks. Will post some photos once I get it back.

Lol, sorry yes I meant Lepsons. I hadn't realised my phone had auto corrected / changed it.

So I have just picked up my car this evening from Lepsons and am very happy with the quality of work.
There is one issue though, they did damage the nut caps. They were removed with a pair of needle nose pliers scratching up the face on a number of them.
EDIT: Regarding the nut caps I have received an email back this morning letting me know that a new set of caps have been ordered and will be shipped out to me. This is an outstanding result and I am very happy (even though I ordered a set last night). I have removed the images below of the damage as I don't want to tarnish their reputation.
Would highly recommend. Quality of work was top notch and since resolving the issue promptly I would also say the level service is superb.
+10 AA.

Looks good! So much so that I've just booked an appointment with RDS next door to get mine detailed and they can give the wheels to Lepsons while they're doing it. Cheers

I think the total came up to around 420ish quid, can't remember off the top of my head. That was including the center caps. I went with the medium anthracite.
