Silver rim scratching/grinding marks

[crystalmethod]

In stationary traffic. A queue going the other way too, so it's crowded. Fire engine comes up fast between both lines of cars. I move to the edge of the road, and crunch.

Good.

Looks like the damage is confined to heavy scratching on the silver rim of my GTS centre lock. No apparent marks on the black part.

Can anyone recommend any repairers in SW London? I've heard of mobile repairers but have no idea how that would work, but anyway.

Thanks for any help. Very grateful.

Chris will leave you loan wheel(s) so you don't lose the use of your car.

Fantastic. Many thanks indeed.

Sorry to re-raise this tedious subject.

I spoke with Chris, who seems like a great guy. However the logistics of centre locks mean he can't work on them. I'm going to talk with an OPC, but also can anyone recommend any mobile repairers in London?

I'll then make up my mind whether to go OPC or mobile repair when I've spoken with both.

Thanks everyone.

That's what I'd like to do, but it's just not practical at the moment.

Thanks, but I've got to get the damn thing off, and my fancy centre lock is the problem.

Someone will be along shortly to tell me that I shouldn't have been so vain as to spec them. They do look good though - well three of them do anyway.

I would be a complete liability with that, and also don't really want to over £300 for one right now - but thanks for the thought!
