Ideally a mobile/drop off service

It will be for a single wheel (1cmx 7cm type marking near tyre wall). The rest of the wheel and the other 3 are in mint condition. It is for a 997 gen 2 - classic alloys

I assume a full refurb of the wheel is better then a spot touch up ?

Anyone have recommendations of services in the London/Essex area?

Contact Chris at Exel Wheels.

Well known in the world of Pork for doing the best wheel refurbs.

Part of his service is to leave you with loan wheels so you can still use your car.

Not affiliated in any way but one of many happy customers of his.

Or over the Dartford crossing to Lepsons in Gillingham. Most of the local Porsche, BMW and Mercedes garages seem to use them. I’ve been happy with two full sets done there

He doesn't refurb himself though AFAIK, he uses a 3rd party (Lepsons I believe), or at least did

Not used myself but Bespoke Alloys near Uxbridge seem to have a decent reputation

I don’t think any wheel refurb company can guarantee a colour match on one wheel so the OP may have to get both done on the one side to achieve the same appearance.

+1 for Lepsons. Just had set of 33 year old wheels refurbished. Stunning job.
