Recommendation for Daytona Coachworx - Stevenage

[Windymiller]

Whilst my 987CS was having service works done at Porschacare I also had the wheels fully stripped, refurbished, repainted and g-techiq C5 coated by David at Daytona Coachworx in Todd’s Green near stevenage - they always seem to have Porches in and work closely with Porschacare just opposite them (see my other posts about Porschacare 👍🏻).

the wheels (19” Carrera S) were previously Basalt black faced, with the ‘primer grey’ internal barrels and a silver rim all around the outer circumference. I wanted the same external face look, but wanted the internal barrels painting too as I’ve never liked the original ‘half n half’ look with the barrels grey 🤔

 

Daytona also prepared treated and ‘spot repaired’ the lower leading edges of both sills and front wheel arches where ‘gravel rash’ had stripped the paint away to expose bare metal. Thought I’d get this done to prevent any corrosion getting into the sills. 
 

They also tidied up a few minor stone chips on the wings and re clear-coated them. 
 

Although only minor areas of work it seems to have transformed her into looking like new again - the wheels in particular look fantastic 😍👍🏻
 

it was a tyres off rims job obviously and they have been perfectly re-balanced (something that I’m a bit pedantic about) with not even the slightest of ‘shimmy’ at any speed up to 140mph so far. 

 

David kept me informed with photos throughout the works and is highly knowledgeable about paint work. When I collected the car he took me round her pointing out a number of ‘imperfections’ - eg the left and right front wings are different shades of Carrara white (apparently it can be applied with either a yellow or red base to the white - who knew... 🤷‍♂️), and the front bumper paint is ‘flatter’ than the rest indicating its had some (not greatest quality) respraying previously. I’ve never noticed in 3 years, but once pointed out I was like ‘oh yes, now I see... ‘🧐🤔😯

 

total cost of works was around £1000
 

later this year I’d like the front bumper and bonnet resprayed as it is heavily chipped from track days etc and I will definitely return to Daytona. 
 

in summary then - David at Daytona did a fantastic job on my car and wheels and I would absolutely recommend them. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks 748, it’s funny how just a little TLC has reinvigorated her looks (yep, still talking about the car here 😉😆), and made me ‘fancy’ her again 😍😁

 

i drove up to Scotland last weekend via Lancs (before Boris locked the country down) so was able to enjoy the A65 from Gisburn to the M6, and then the A76 between Dumfries and Cumnock - 2 VERY enjoyable roads for sure 🏎😃👍🏻
