Lightly scuffed alloy....

[UH-Matt]

Some idiot was semi blocking my access today and caused me to lightly scuff one of my allows (yes it as their fault and not mine)!! Whats the best thing to do? Anyone recommend somewhere who can fix this? Does it need the whole alloy refurbing or does somewhere take out light scuff/curbings?

You could try Pristine Alloys in Milton Keynes.

They did my AMG alloys in the CL last year - excellent job done.

Whereabouts are you based? No need for a full refurb - the only benefit there is if you have corroded or old wheels that need stripping.

[UH-Matt]

What should it cost roughly just for a local repair to have the scuffed surface fixed? There is no damage and I dont want a total refurb of the wheel?

Stats007 im in St Albans, Hertfordshire

Expect to pay £45-£50 for a local repair

Great opportunity to invest in some DBS wheels

Yea I saw the topic... was considering it as an opportunity for new rims or even getting current ones done in anthracite or similar... but to be honest its a tiny blemish, im just a perfectionist

[m33ufo]

Just a thought

Stop man. You know the originals are the right ones!

Justice has been served. I stuck a wet A4 notice to the front windscreen of the car that blocked my access and forced me closer to the curb. Well this afternoons wind managed to dry the paper nicely so it stuck to the winscreen of said car, and I just saw them attempting to peal it off with not a lot of luck

It seems that so many of us have done this to exactly the same wheel in the first weeks (days in my case) of ownership !

Mine is also a tiny(ish) blemish, in truth I can live with it until I am absolutely convinced about my parking skills given the fact I still have absolutely no idea where my front left wheel is in relation to the rest of the universe, and then I will get it fixed !

God, I remember doing mine, day 2 after getting it. Might as well kill a baby in front of me for the scale of the horror. I would have left them till my parking expertese improved but that's never going to happen, unless it's big enough for the QE2, I'm not even going to attempt it.

Oh, dealers fixed the wheel for £75 so not too bad.
