Bloody taxi drivers! One pulled out onto a roundabout in front of me last night as well. Thank you Pagid!
Needless to say he got a piece of my mind when we both pulled up in the petrol station.

Hope it gets sorted soon. Might as well enquire about the price of colour coding the skirts while it's there. They might do you a good deal.

thx for your comments lads. The wheel got scuffed to Problem is they will fix it, ie respray it, but then it wont match the rear wheel as it will look newer (fresh paint). So I have to hope a decent polish will get it out.

My wheel got hit when my car was damaged, and they have said to me that they WILL NOT repair it as they cant get a colour match on it (Prodrive PD7 Gold).

Ian that sucks How bad was the damage on yours then? got a pic?
The bodyshop mines in uses Pristine Wheels for alloy repair. Havent got a number or anything, but it might be worth enquiring, and passing info onto your garage.
I've still got a icky feelin in my stomach, yknow how it feels. Dam cars.

The damage to my wheel is no worse than quite a long scuff, I would go and take you a picture now but the brake dust is covering the scuff at the moment.

I was told by Cheam Motors that they dont bother repairing the wheels as they had tried to have a few done and they looked great until they were fitted to the car then you could see the colour difference.
