Managed to get v.slight kerb damage after some old dear fell asleep at wheel and drifted in to my lane. I felt like going mad but what are you going to say to an OAP!

Any ideas best place to get these refurbed in London? Porsche are saying they can't get the same finish hence I have to purchase brand new wheel. £1000.00 per wheel.

Have any 997 tt had to have this done yet? If so where and how good were the results?

Cheers

Where are you based? I know someone who probably can do them properly in Sevenoaks, Kent.

I imagine that the polished outer finish must be very similar to the E46 M3 19" wheel. I know that these can be done very well, when most places will tell you its impossible.

Diamond styling in sevenoaks can do them,they did my 996tt and 993tt wheels and do a top job,they can also do split rims as well so 997tt wheels should be easy enough.

Yes, Diamond Styling.

Its a tiny little place, and you will have to leave your wheel, or whole car there (if you have no way of getting your wheel to them). But you cant argue with the qaulity of their work. Loads of the mobile alloy repairers take the more difficult wheels to them.

01732 779100. Cant remember the owners name, but he has a few Polish guys working there, so if someone with an English accent answers the phone, you are probably talking to the right guy.
