Don't know whether this wheel scuffing is catching, but I'll add myself to the list.

After a completely unblemished car for a very long time, I've managed to scuff the off-side front wheel while avoiding a small animal.

:(

The wheel repairers are going to have a good 2008!

Prior to owning the Audi, I had an unblemished record for kerbing alloys. I think the lack of protection offered by the standard conti's on mine is a big contributor - aswell as the fact its the longest car ive owned. I'll be refurbing my alloys at tyre renewal time!!!
Everyone is unique, just like you and me.

Managed a second one yesterday :evil:

Are the mobile outfit repairers any good or is it best to send them away for refurb professionally ?
