fell off the road this morning, only going slowly thankfully, due to a wet patch
more embarassed than anything else, still, a bit scary and a pain in the proverbial to get it repaired, the passenger side wing needs lots of t.l.c. , the rear wheel is a big bit buggered and the whole of the front, side and rear probably needs a respray, what a pain!!
sadly my fault, luckily the nice insurance people were very kind!

Doh! I know that feeling... you survive all manner of near-misses out on the open road only to come a cropper in a moment's inattention. Or gross stupidity, if you drive a Chimaera at a Wedge meeting...

Another option is Image wheels :

Who said they could make up a new rim.. worth a call.
