Kerbed alloy repair UK
Some moron left me no space yesterday and forced me up the kerb. I now have a chipped alloy. Gutted.
Can anybody in the Uk recommend a repairer? Are the standard 1///M alloys diamond cut? Chips Away couldn't help my S2000 a few years ago because of the diamond cut. Thanks. |

1M wheels are not diamond cut so an easy repair
I just had mine recently repainted in hyper black by Pristine who are in Milton Keynes, the finish is quality if you are thinking of also having a shade change http://www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/ You are not to far from Hitchen, give my mate Lee a call at http://www.crashcarecentre.com/ He will be able to sort out the one wheel in the same colour and his work is spot on, he actually sorted out my wheels through Pristine..... |

Inevitable indeed if the 1M is used in the urban jungle (especially those dreadful high curbs at ticket machines in parking lots entrances and exits - unbuckle the seat belt and hang out of the window if these curbs are too close for comfort):
