You know when you go round and round in a multi-storey car park and half way up, you lose concentration a bit and just 'nick' the rear wheel on the kerb of the narrow windy roadway?

Yup, I did it yesterday and scratched a rear alloy.

Any one got some good idea on how to repair it?

There are places that do wheel repairs for £100-£200 quid,

to be honest keep your eye on the for sale section and get a new set of wheels! Thats what I did got 4 new unmarket wheels for under £200 so if I scratch one I just go to the shed for a new one.

Wasteful but if you are on standard wheels people are always selling after upgrades. The newer the car the more avaliable the wheels are as well.

UNfortunately these are not standard wheels - they are the Subaru two Piece alloy!

Refurbs generally cost £25-£35 per wheel. Just like new.
