Kerbed alloy repair UK

[RJKmetal]

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

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.....

There are these guys in Cambridge who did the wheel refurb on Evo's long term test 1M: http://revivecambridge.bttradespace.com/

Odd unrelated question - I assume they are always happy to pop windscreens in and out as part of their work - if they are spot on, I'm looking for someone to replace the windscreen on my Land Rover...

I couldn't see why not, give them a call and ask to speak with Lee.

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):

Do people park their 1Ms in car parks

That happens indeed, in the best of your 1M's interest.

Yep, would definitely agree! These guys are by far one of the best out there. Although they do not offer mobile repairs, you would have to send them your wheel/s.

Yes. In East London. In a staff car park surrounded mainly by Korean hatchbacks.

Do I try pick a place in the corner out of the way but still worry? Yes.
