Question

Only spotted this when trying to clean the car - but there's some kerbing on the front nearside alloy. Anyone know if there is a £50 way of removing it?

You should be able to get the alloy refurnished for that much.

Although then the colour might be different to the others...

If its just a curbing it can be repaired
My Dad & Ex had theirs done by chips away !
quality of repair is dependent on degree of damage
Dads werent too bad & now look immaculate
Ex's were worse & you couldnt tell without looking closely
looking at approx £75 for 2 wheels
i know a guy who works in Ewell Surrey if thats any good but probably one in your area !

If its not too bad, try sanding it down with grades of wet and dry but make sure you respray the area well (masking off the wheel and tyre) and it looks as good as new for the cost of a can of silver wheel paint from Halfords, some wet and dry paper and your time. Did this a few years ago on a 205 GTi and you couldn't tell honest
