Damaged Alloy

Chris344 · 22 Dec 2014 at 12:23

Finally done it... scratched my alloy wheel after being very carful:

It wasn't a curb as such, but a large broken slab lay on the floor which I just caught while parking.

What are my repair options? I don't care about it being perfect - just made to look better and sealed really.

Apologies, links fixed.

Can't see your pics, but an alloy wheel refurb will almost certainly sort it out. Typical cost is about £80-£100 a wheel I think.

You put the shortened links in your OP, as evident by the "..." truncating the full link.

If the damage isn't too severe, talking like buckling of alloy, then you should just be able to get it repaired. Though you say scratched so it's likely just a touch up needed. Pretty cheap.

If you don't care about the job then a local repair on it would be around £35.

Ahh that's nothing at all! Don't worry about it

Should be a cheap fix. Any local indie could likely get that invisible.

Infact, I'd just get a touch up pen and not worry about it.

Cheers guys, I didn't realise you can get these quick repair/touch up jobs.

I'll look into a quick touch up job after the new year.
