Took my dad and his mate out for a drink last night as it was his b'day. I was driving and wasn't sure where his house was. found the road but didnt know which one it was. I pulled over and he said it was a bit further up so i followed the kurb along rather then pulling back out. Ended up putting a big kurb mark around about half of my wheel as i caught the kurb

Havent done it before and didnt relise what a horrible noise it makes its only scratched metal but it actually pissed me off for a whole day

found a local place that can do it for me on saturday in the morning. Will cost me £64. Is this a good price for a standard silver alloy?

Anyway rant over I need to learn to drive

nah it was a good night actually other then that. I never thought that banter with your dad and one of his mates could be such a laugh

Im just amazed at how something as simple as scuffing a wheel could annoy me so much

If you go to halford they have color match swatches, try them on your wheels and find the closest matching car paint

Buy a new alloy and just try to fix the one yourself if the alloys are that cheap. I can't imagine that Team Dynamics alloy will be too pricey.
