Scored of the alloys-BMW say they can repair it. Is it undetectable? If not how much is a new one?

Thanks

I had mine on the last one done at Pristine in Milton Keynes. They were perfect, but the finish was slightly different.

Thanks Zod-I only need the 1 alloy dealt with. Are you saying it will look out of place? I also heard that given the new wheels are coated in plastic film any refurb will be noticeable one wheel cleaner is applied. Any thoughts?

Misses Just Curbed My Alloys!

Spoke to a National On Site Wheel Refurb Company who have informed me that the M3 19" Alloy is an Extremely Highly Factory Polished Wheel with Laquer applied.
The On Site Company can only take the scratches off and buff the wheel however the wheel will not have any laquer on it afterwards so will look slightly different to the other wheels !

Not sure if this is the norm with refurbed M3 Wheels but Im still searching today for a company that can keep the same finish as the other Wheels.

Adam,

I was quoted for a home visit at £65 + vat per wheel.
