Wheel rim repair....

[razbox]

Damn, after just 7 days I've managed to scrape my wheel rims on one wheel in a tight car park in London. grrrr...

Does anyone know of a good mobile repair service (or know how much AM would charge?)

thanks

I wouldn't use a mobile repairer.
To do the job properly the wheel needs to be stripped, filled, primed and stove enamelled, then polished (if required).
This is not something that can be properly done by a man and van.
Try a company called Spit and Polish (or maybe spit'n polish!) in Kent.
They did my 4 wheels while I was on holiday abroad. So I was able to leave the wheels with them. From memomy, they charged about £300 for 4 wheels, and they came back like new.

I do this everytime i get a new car and always rush about to get it repaired but when it comes down to losing the wheel for two weeks it just becomes to much of a hassle. More often than not its going to happen to a different wheel at some time.

If you can live with it id say do so until your either going to sell it or have a problem with more than one wheel.

Just my opinion.....

The coating is not 'normal' on the V8....so be careful who does it. However, I agree....it's going to happen again, so live with it and wait. (I did mine after two weeks, but after another week had gone by I had fogotten the pain of that sound of Aluminium on Stone)!
