Maags on the MSOC forum did an excellent repair job on a Porsche wheel for me. Great value too. Might be a bit far middlesex but sometimes it`s worth travelling further for an excellent job.

I ended up popping south of the river to Lepsons in Gillingham to get mine done and can highly recommend them. I also tried JP's, his work looked great but he would not do the matt lacquer I wanted to match the originals on my P1.
I'm not sure what the job is like that Wheelworx do in there main unit but my mate got his done by one of there vans and it was very average! They gave me a price for mine but when I tried to call to book in to get them done a week later they didnt reply to 2 calls or an email so I gave up!
