Kerbed my alloy also today. Repair or leave it. Pics

[cardecisionhelp]

was thinking of something and managed to kerb it -.-

Shall I repair or leave it?

1 alloy only. I am assuming it'll cost around £100 to repair. Are these diamond cut or normal alloys?

I am in west london (near ealing) any recommendation for repairs?

Can a company like chips away who do mobile repairs do repairs on these? Would you recommend them




Different angle.

There's only so many times you can properly refurbish diamond cut wheels. That damage isn't worth a full refurbishment. A smart repair is the best way to fix that. If you don't the corrosion will set in around there and it'll look worse in the coming months.

How much does a smart repair cost usually? I have requested quote from chips away who said they'll contact me tomorrow but just as a figure?

Diamond cut seems to vary from £80 to £120 per wheel.

I am assuming smart repairs will be a lot less?

You can hardly see that. Unless you are obsessive, touch it in with some paint and a modelling brush.

Could do. just heart broken that I kerbed it. How do I colour match though?

It'll still be around £40-60.

You don't want to do a proper refurbishment until you really have to. The process can only be done a few times before the alloy becomes too thin.

Save your full refurbishments and have a smart repair.
