Evening all... A new member on the BMW site, as I've been dreaming of a Cerbera for the last 6 months!
Picture the scene....A new (2002) BM.... Went for a spin, parked up, scrapped the alloys against the bl**dy kerb. Any ideas who to go and see to get 2 refurbed??!!
Cheers.

I can recommend Wicked Wheels, cost me around £60 per alloy, came back to me looking as good as new.

Many thanks! And one last question....!
Just in case (in the future) I'd like a bit more "BHP"...Anything I could do which won't give the insurers a hearty??!!

Depends who your insurers are...

I have Superchip on the M3 which gives a few more BHP, Liverpool Victoria didn't increase my premium.

Ok, so now I want new alloys. Thinking no point in spending £'s on refurbs when I wanted newer/bigger ones anyway. Ideas? Walk into a dealership and buy what they have, or does anyone know a better alternative?
Cheers.
