Default Wheel scuffed :(

I've very recently fitted some PFF's to the blobeye but today noticed one of the alloys had a small scuff from a high curb that I usually avoid parking near.

I won't lie I'm pretty gutted being that they were mint!

So now I'm just wondering if there is any quick fix or cover up I could do to mask the worst of it rather than a full respray.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers all.

I'd go for the refurb mate! If it's that bad and noticable then do it! Pf's deserve the best!

I stuffed one of mine bad and it only cost 60 quid and you wouldn't have guessed I had it repaired.

That's promising news, did you go somewhere local for the repair? I've found somewhere local to me, Speedys in Derby, has a lot of good reviews on google so might pop by and see what they say.
