Default Alloy wheel repairers

In the south glasgow area/east kilbride.

Anyone recommend a decent repairers?

A kerb jumped out at my wife earlier. I haven't seen the damage yet. Are the repairers able to repair most damage?

Can't help you out with a recommendation as it's not my area. But I've actually seen an 18 inch BBS alloy repaired after it cracked. Didn't last mind you, but if they can repair that they should be able to repair a little bit of a kerbing.

Are you not away to OZ yet?

Yeah, just not as soon as we wanted, personal circumstances changed/delayed everything. We're still going though. But the good news......i've kept the STi for a few more months.


I've seen the damage and i'm not sure it could be repaired, so i've decided to buy new alloys anyway.

Just can't decide whether to get black or gun metal in either the Rota GRAs or Inovit Redlines. Tough decision.....

It's going in for ASTs + a few more goodies in a few weeks too.

She'd been saying she was frightened of damaging it, but loved driving it. (Except the noise!) So we'd decided i would take it, as i live away from home most the time now. We're swapping this w/end, then this kerb spotted her and took out revenge.

Ah well, guess i get new alloys and tyres.

- The spec will be re-worked again very soon with the remainder of the Type 25 handling kit (ASTs etc) plus some Perrin goodies.

Then some lucky bugger will be taking it off me, when it goes up for sale.

I'll let you know squire.

The Rota GRA's arrived today, so i'll be fitting them tomorrow. Ordered some Rays lightweight tuner nuts too.

In a couple of weeks the ASTs, whiteline and perrin kit.

I think i'll have to die before someone prizes the keys from my hands.
