Annoyingly, I've curbed once of my wheels trying over-zealously to make sure I was parked right on a narrow road. Protecting the mirrors has meant I've scuffed the alloy! Boo.

Anyone able to recommend a good form that would take a look? I might try and get someone to repair it in the New Year.

I use a local independent, Mario's Wheels in Thurrock Essex 5*. Most towns have high quality wheel repair specialists who can weld, straighten, diamond cut and refurbish wheels.

Cheers! Shouldn't be too painful then.

Will be interesting to see how you get on, just had a wheel done (£90) on our mini but it was a regular powder coated silver wheel rather than a diamond cut.

Depending where you are in the country, these guys are really good with decent pricing. They are not mobile, so have a proper workshop with the proper gear. I was surprised how big it was! These guys have been around for over 20yrs.
