That looks like a simple enough repair, Renowheel in Bridgend repair far worse than that every day.

Renowheel would do that repair in their sleep, not cheap but certainly the best.

I think the wheels are Team Dynamics wheels if my contact at Cosworth is correct, teamdynamicsracing.com

So, if you can repair, thats where you could probably get a new one from if you have to....hope it does not come to that. Caught my front nearside a while back, but it is so slight you cant see it.....thankfully or I would be doing the same as you.

Well its gone in today..back tomorrow....having wheel alignment checked too,tho it appears ok to drive...but as I cant get an account in enough detail to satisfy myself.....results of overquestioning equates to getting shouted at and blamed lol..we had roastedvegetablepatsabakegate in Morrisons so ive let it go now ...figured an allignment check may stop me overthinking

Squeaky parcel shelf - I think you'll have to simply just get used to that

Yeah - that's the one.

What you can actually do, is fully extend the ******, roll it up tight and and secure it.
Et voila, no more squeaks, downside is everyone can obviously see in the boot.
