i know mate, i'm gutted! Its not at all deep tho, its pretty smooth, so hopefully it'll be cheap to sort.

Thinkin about having them done in high power silver (dark silver) what ya reckon?

don't buy a kit cause it never looks right with big scratches. Get it refurbed which would mean bead blasting and then filled and sprayed.

Hey last nite my left rear alloy said hello to a low brick wall, and has substantial scrapes on 3 of the spokes :(

Its not deep, it just looks like its taken the laquer off (I'll get some pics up later for a better idea)

Any ideas of how i can fix it? It looks like it just needs respraying, are there any kits that u can buy? Anything i can do to stop any further damage while its all scraped?

Anyone from Manchester know an alloy refurbisher in the area?

cheers for any ideas.
