mk3anni 0 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Just got back from a trip to "The Phirm" in Farnham. They rolled my rear arches, and levelled out my coilovers for me and I have to say I'm really impressed. Now the coilies are set correctly the car handles better, and now I can run my TT rims without catching the arches over every bump.I also feel i should point you guys in there direction. I know Mike from VR6oc has given The Phirm a very favourable review, and I can only agree with what he said.Anyone who knows me will know that I'm REALLY picky about who works on my cars and these guys where brilliant. They had the car in the workshop and up on the ramps as soon as I got there. Tim had a quick look over the car and pointed out some bits that needed doing before he set to work on my arches.What impressed me most was that Tim took the time to take me through what he was going to do, and made sure I was happy before he set to work. When it was done he let me take it out for a spin befoe I paid to make sure I was happy with the work.If your looking for a really helpful and friendly service I can't rate these guys highly enough. You can find them here:www.thephirm.co.ukI'll deffinatly be using them againSteve[ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
