I managed to kerb one of my new alloys (n/s/r) this morning after pulling away from a speed bump( dont laugh) to quickly and having the back end skip out and hit against the kerb. Good start to the day. I have found a place that repairs alloys locally to me but they reckon they have to spray the whole wheel. The wheels are matt black rotas. If this guy sprays the damaged wheel (its not buckled or bent, just kerbed) then is it gonna stand out like a sore thumb.???? Am I better off just putting up with it the way it is?

 

If they are Rotas... then maybe Julian at Rarerims.co.uk - main rota agent would be able too supply just one wheel? He may even have a 2nd hand one?

 

thats a good point. might be worth a call.

 

It's a bummer isn't it. I think i've got minor kerb damage on 3 of mine now.

 

I think Julian also does the original colour paints so it should match 100%

 

bad luck dan!

 

Did my NSR the other morning, I am so careful in the wet but I think it was a combination of diesel on the road and half asleep on way to work, its a good 5" long scrap.. my car just feels dirty now

I am told that Laptab in Birmingham are top-dog but my rims have a stainless steel edge as aposed to alloy. Unsure if fixable.

Maybe I should just go get a set of 5zigen FN01Rc's instead? hmm..

 

did the same in my A3 today

coming out of ASDA didnt see the kerb, rain everywhere!!! over the top of the kerbs. Ha Ho Company car!!!!!!!!!!!

so didnt take the S out today!!!

 

i had mine refurbed the other week,

 

I ****ing hate that - there's all these silly traffic irritating things everywhere & they're invisible at night in the wet.

I'm gonna get me a Unimog. With train buffers: Hummers = StreetKas.
