theres a place in nottingham near the race course in colwick on little tennis street

There's a place behind what was the Esso garage on Nottingham Road in Mansfield, which does a good repair, at a cheap price.
The Esso garage is now Tesco Express, or will be, when it opens.

I think the tyres with the built-in rim protectors are the way to go.
Some cars have these as standard i have noticed.

Thanks for the info - I've driven by the (new) Tesco but can only see a tin shed behind it? Do you have a name for the company?

BTW the tyres do have a rim protector lip - unfortunately the impact was a bit too hard for it to cope

It's the extreme left-hand shed!

Amazing what you find tucked up in 'back streets'! Rolled up at lunch time and parked behind two other Elises! They'd also got a nice old Bently in the workshop!

Just awaiting a call with a price now

I know the guy there, quite well. He has done a fair few wheel 'curbs' for me.
Good value and often has interesting cars in for work.

Not yet - I want to change the colour to charcoal grey and he didn't have a colour chart and I haven't had time to get over to his paint supplier
