oliver789 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 To cut a long story short today while parking i just wasn't paying attention for a few seconds then BANG, i smash my drivers side alloy into a kerb Gutted!!! It makes the car look scruffy now and I'm just wondering if there is anyway to repair it without having to buy a new alloy!! If so, would someone be able to tell me a good place (I live in Luton, in bedfordshire) where I can get it done and if the results are any good. Attached is a pic of my mistake I have been sad all day at work because of it!! ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliver789 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 I know, but in fairness not all of that was me, when i bought the car it was already a bit scraped....but thats no excuse!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 To reassure you, that damage can be repaired quite easily - just make sure you have it done by a good specialist. I had damaged mine on my previous ZED in 2008 - not as bad as yours but here is the result of the repair work I had done and all 4 wheels matched and they looked just as good as when I traded in the 350 in December 2009 viewtopic.php?f=61&t=13182&hilit=Kerbed+Rays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Holy hell. Either way, is it just me or does it look like you've buckled the wheel at the bottom? If you have, maybe you'll be able to get it repaired but you'll probably need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just need to find a professional place that is relatively nearby. Can anyone recommend a place? I guarantee my Zed won't ever be coming close to a kerb ever again after this harrowing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GruntBoy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Is it really only 60 quid for a decent refurb? Any recommendations in the Milton Keynes/Northampton area please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
