Would you say this has had the effect you were hoping for?

@veitchy. If I’m honest mate, it hasn’t made it as quiet as I’d hoped it would. Maybe I was expecting a bit much I don’t know.
I was actually thinking about test driving another caddy that hadn’t been done to hear the difference.

What's the process behind this and where did you get it done? Is that £40 for all 4 wheels? They look smart.

Company called 'matt-pak'

Its a wheel kit they sell.....i rubbed the bubbly lawyer down (about 15 minutes) then cleaned em with isopropyl alcohol , then they had three coats of matt Black, and one of bronze candy pearl, left em 8 hours, then a coat of lacquer, then 12 hours later they were on.

Easy to do, fantastic results!
