Just inflicted my first damage to my baby.

Girlfriend and parents bought me a set of silver 18" Diablos for Christmas/birthday and I've just scraped one against the curb.:eek::eek:

Need to get it sorted fast!

Any help or advice as to where to go would be hugely appreciated. I live in Bucks but don't mind a bit of a journey for a good job.

The damage is pretty minor, to just the very outer rim, but I could cry at any minute.

Help me peeps!!

Thanks

Try Pristine Wheels in Woburn near MK. They had a website which was working up until recently it seems as it appears not to be now.

Hope this helps.

Okay, spoken to those guys who have told me I am looking at £75 upwards (fair price?). This is without seeing the wheel and are not certain these wheels are repairable:eek:.

The wheels are Team Dynamics Diablos in silver. The damaged part is the High Power Silver outer rim. Does anybody have any experience of repair work to these wheels.

Again I stress that the damage is not severe just a heavyish scuff.:rolleyes:

I have same problem.. funnily enough with exactly the same wheels.. only I caught one of the spokes too.. I'm phoning round later and if I find anywhere I'll let you know..

Ring round some of your local yre places. I had a quote of £25 for quite a heavy scuff on a '01 WRX wheel.

555-Shaggy - Good luck and keep me posted. I will let you know if I have any further progress.

Paul Palmer - Slough is no problem for me at all. What or who do you know?

Alcazar - Always a pleasure!:D Have a friendly tyre place up the road from me I will be trying after work, then phoning round as necessary.

Thanks guys:D:D:D
