Stew Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Sorry to hear that. It sucks. You can also get people to fix scuffs on wheels while you are in work and stuff. I've never used them but I played Golf with a guy that does it (friend of my GFs dad) and he said he can make them like new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Chips away can refurb alloys, depends if they can fix it with the tyre on though. Sorry to hear about this hun, hope you get it sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 if your handy with a small file and a bit of emery paper you should be able to smooth it out if your carefull, and take your time, bit of colour match paint to finish off as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_350z Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I also had the same problem @ the weekend - scuffed both kerb-side alloys after being cut across by a big mamma in a BMW X5. It was either that or my front right wing I really, _really_, _REALLY_ hate X5s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar encounter in my old car, Meganne 225, drove it down to London for a meeting and when I was driving out of the City some nutty old women came hurtling towards me in a Micra!

Digsy Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Sheena Really sorry to hear this. Such small-minded, cowardly tossers should be lined up and knee-capped. The only good thing is that you didn't get hurt and kerbed alloys are pretty easy to sort in the general scheme of things. I'd think about gettng your tracking checked now, though. Get it sorted and put it behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I did the same thing on Thu, kebed the frnt drivers side wheel about 5 inches while trying to squeeze past a dust bin truck!! Should have known better, my stupid fault. But my chipsaway bloke only charges approx £35 to £40 per wheel, which is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
