Angry I just Kerbed my alloy

I just effing kerbed my front nearside alloy at the school! Gutted doesn't even come close. How am I going to get over it?? My prodrive 18" PFF 7's were immaculate until today.
Anyone know what the gold paint code is?

Can't help you with the paint code, but if it makes you feel better, I cracked an alloy hitting a pot hole and replaced the wheel at a cost of £230 only for the wife to hit a curb in the recent snow and damage the wheel that I had replaced. The wheel had only been on there a couple of months.

You park like a girl

Do a google search for a wheel refurber in your area and speak to them about your options mate

Any one suffering from pothole damage, there is hope.
Councils put money aside to repair car damage due to there poor roads, as its cheaper then repairing the pot holes to begin with. Sicking i know, but thats life.
5th gear did an artical on it a while about, i'll see if i can find the link.

If you dont mind leaving a wheel at a paint suppliers for a hour or so they can match the colour and put it in a aerosol

My wife kerbed my 6 month old alloys, replaced before that due to getting square in a pot hole. She could`nt understand what the fuss was about, so now she`s no longer with us !! At least I could blame someone else.
