slid sideways into a kerb after pulling out of the car park at 5mph last night [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I hit the kerb totally sideways so both wheels hit at the same time and stopped dead, front tracking seems to be out now and there is a rubbing sound from the rear wheel [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Really annoyed with myself!!!

I better get the 4 wheel alignment done i suppose, if i'm doing that i may aswell get a set of springs fitted!!

Anyone recommend somewhere in the birmingham area?? Can't really be arsed to go all theway to Nottingham or cheltenham to see the usual suspects.

Austen - sorry to hear that! I had my small shunt this morning!

 

Arthur Prince VW in loughborough have the best 4 wheel alignment gear in my area. Even graypaul ferrari use them............

 

Geoff Fowkes, or is it foukes can never remember, is just north of Nuneaton etc & aint too bad if not quite on the TSL level.

Si, Got a link or contact details??

cheers

 

Cheltenham can only be an hour from you, and worth the visit.

Alcazar

Slightly further than i may of implied by saying just notrh of Nuneaton but nearer than TSL & cheaper although as i say still good set up if not quite in the same ball park as TSL. I'm guna use them, Fowkes, to set my car up once i've killed the jap rubber.....

Cheers. Powerstation is only 6 miles (47 miles) further so unless someone else can suggest anywhere i will end up going there i think.

 

I managed to **** a curb last night too, but only gently

I daren't look for the marks cos you just know that being gold wheels, there'll be a bloody great chunk taken out leaving a matt silver shine!!

 

Me to! Bumped a kerb last night at low speed (thanks ABS). Scuffed wheel, tracking out a bit, and one very pi$$ed off driver.

I'll get the tracking sorted on Saturday, but more worried about the wheel (all 4 in perfect nick before last night) Has anyone used one of these mobile allot wheel refurbishers?

 

Sh1te & I thought I was the only one Bloody gritter oncoming wouldnt move over had to take evasive action hit the feckin curb. Result scraped alloys

 

Ive had mine two days and hit a curb as the back end came round in the snow at slow speed too last night, messed the wheel up and was murder trying to get a new one organised, and gotta wait till weekend before it turns up at the earliest

Me, too... roundabout I didn't know, kerb obscured with snow, clipped it with N/S rear. Glancing blow, but 2 ruddy great chunks out of the rim!!
18 months without a mark on them before today.
