Need to get some AMG alloys refurbished after some careless curbing, spoke to Mercedes who said they could get then refurbished but there is a problem, the outer rim and spokes are machined and they tell me they would have to respray the entire wheel and lose the machined finish, is there anyone that could restore them to their natural state?

A wheel refurber with a rim grinder is what you need... they are few and far between though - whereabouts in the UK are you?

Hmm, outside my (narrow!) area of expertise there, I'm afraid... I know of a couple of East Anglia places that do that sort of work, but not in London.

A possible catchall - your local ChipsAway operator almost certainly a) won't do that type of repair, but; b) probably knows someone locally who does...

A quick google suggests chipsawaywestlondon.co.uk - worth a try?
