Scuffed an alloy

[Scudetto]

Oh well, it was gonna happen at somepoint. Ten months into ownership and I now have a scuffed loy. A combination of a high kerb, lazy parking and viewing some eye candy has resulted in an inch-long scuff. Its not too deep but is noticeable.

Thing is, while Im not precious about my car (its a car - no matter how careful i am with it, it will get damaged at somepoint) I do have an odd view on scuffed wheels - no matter how neat a car is, if the wheels are scuffed its kinda wrong...like someone really fit having smelly feet, if that makes any sense? To me, scuffed wheels are like a filthyness.

Well if its only the 1 and it bothers you so much why not put the spare on? you can then get the damaged 1 repaired for about £35

I did mine a week ago. The car was less than a month old. I was gutted.

Got it fixed last Friday. You cant tell its ever been touched. I took it to a S.M.A.R.T place that do bumps, scratches, alloys, fag burms etc. They said it could take up to 4 hours, but actually took a little over an hour 20.

No one could see the scratch on mine, but I knew it was there and that bothered me. Just get it fixed. I waited with mine as I hate using the spare. Ive got this sad problem where my spare has to be brand new!!

Could just do it yourself.... Halfords sell an alloy wheel repair kit for 20 quid.P
