Ouch!!! Sorry 2 hear that fella, Ive managed not to damage my standard 172 wheels touch wood for over a year, downside is parking like a women a foot from the kerb though!! The graphite, should hide the damage though i would of thought, itll only go graphite again when its full of brake dust and grime. The pictures just popped up, there not as dark as I thought, i bet that made a fcuking awful noise??

 

[Ali]

I normally do that!!! Just in the uni carpark, every1 was so close together..."No excuses" It could have bin avoided!

auto image and this place in dalkeith, both near/in edinburgh are the only places i can think of, bit far for you though

 

[Weeman]

Bit far for any scotsman, Glasgow- Edinburgh is wot 35-40 miles at lets say 50mpg thatll be the best part of 6 quids worth of juice, thats a 6 pack of Tennants export, and a deep fried pizza!!!!

how much does alloy repair normally cost? any idea? my two front alloys are a bit scuffed!

 

[Viv172]

Ouch!!! That looks like my passenger side alloy,

I dont know what it is but every one who has driven my car has kerbed that one alloy, the other three are unmarked.....



I was quoted £40 to sort it, looks the same colour as yours, but am wondering if its worth it considering that it keeps happening, I point the wing mirrors down towards the kerb when parking but other people don’t!



I dont know if Im being paranoid but the wheels on my 172 seem to stick out more than on my siss Cup (?)

 

[Weeman]

172 wheels are a knightmare, theres no tyre at all between wheel and kerb, its like breaking the mystique and farting in front of your G/F, once its done things arent quite the same, so I try not to do either my "mystique" is in tact, so far.

 

[Ali]

Distance and cost arnt an issue!! I aint driving with that sh*t... i had those rims for nearly 2 yrs...And neva scuffed them!

Viv, where were u quoted that?

 

[Viv172]

I think that distance might be an issue here….Cornwall.

That was at a pretty big and reputable body shop, so I think £40 is probably the most youll have to pay

Carrick Engineering, beside Prestwick airport are supposed to be good, also RMS exhuast manufacturers repair wheels, they are also in the same industrial estate.
