Grrr...

[jra3d]

After 16000 miles of careful driving, my head this week has been a little all over the place, after my split with the gf!

Guess what I did... Yes kurbed a Gordini alloy and I'm so gutted!! Turned around a corner, confronted by an ambulance on blues instead of holding steady I twitched an caught the rear alloy!!

Any way of fixing a polished face alloy...?

 

[weebob]

ah bollocks. feel for you mate. can it not just be refurbed?

 

[Leanne]

Ahh damn those bloody ambulances. I did pretty much the exact same thing when I done mine!
Last thing you needed this week. Hope the damage isn't too bad. Got any pics? Sorry can't help with the fixing I'm just waiting for mine to get a lil worse (as I know its going to happen) then get them refurbed.

 

[Lordyb]

Ahh mate, feel ur pain! I curbed my allot at the weekend. Only done 1000 miles! Rage!

Hope all gets sorted soon!
Take it easy!

dont kick him while he's down :roll:

With them being a polished face I think they'll need to be returned which is a bit dearer than powdercoating.
Where are you based mate?

I'll have a word with my mate at Wicked Wheels and see what he recommends.

 

[DrDrew]

Sorry to hear

 

[jra3d]

Cheers guys!

An yeah if you can Matt. It's not horrible I know it's there. :-(

[Leanne]

Aww man!! Could have been alot worse though!!

 

[Courtney]

Aww As leanne said you could have done more damage... But it still is the fact you know its there

 

[madmatt]

That sucks dude :/ on both counts...

You can try Wheel Repair Centre, I know they do re-grinds for Diamond Polished wheels...

 

[Midge]

Oh no! Your gunna have to show me that tonight! xxx

 

[TURBO]

Is that it! :roll: :roll: If that's all you've got to worry about I'd say your ok!

There is a place that work use for polished wheels, il get u there number.

Anyway ud think u would be used to things with flashing lights!!
:lol:

 

[singlespeed]

not good James, not good.

If it's just the laquer thats scuffed, it could be re-laquered. Damage to the polished face probably needs machining out. A small area could be done with a dremmel and laquered, but you would probably notice a difference in the texture.

Pristine alloy wheels do a good job, but at a price. Based in Leighton Buzzard if i remember correctly, but a friend used one of their reps for a set of bmw rims
