Just checking how easy it is for a spasmoid to get pictures on the web. More to follow, probably in Member's Gallery.

Good grief, that's more than a scratch. I slightly (verrrry slightly) caught mine a few months back and was gutted. You must be distraught!

My local garage recommended nail varnish to stop water getting under the laquer, but I think you're rather beyond that stage.

Hope you get it fixed,
Nick.

Ouch!!

Might be worth considering getting another wheel!

Get a set, and sell on two of them! That way you can replace the damaged one, and have a full size spare!

Before you ask, I have 5 P1 wheels!!

Hard luck m8!
All I can say is that thank god all were ok.
I've just scraped up the bit's after a pretty serious rta tonight. I might add that I was on-duty not in my car, If people keep pranging their cars then mine willl be worth a mint in the end!

Don't know about the alloy wheel hospital, but I had one of mine done by Paint Technik (0800 298 5455) & they did a good job. Cost about 45 quid though.

Tell you what, you'll hate it more when your dealer does if for you, now that does stink.
