Car just got back from a service. Couple of things wrong with it
Plastic cowling around the radiator fan has snapped apart and so it just dangling around
Rear offside alloy has a buckle on inside (so not visible from the exterior) so much so it couldnt be balanced.
Now the alloys are this sort
(not my chavved up astra, just the first wheel pic i could find on google)
And apprently they are hard to get hold of, so im thinking get it put right at an alloy place? What am I looking for in the yellow pages and what sort of prices am I looking at

They look like standard SXi alloys, if so there really common. IIRC its quite expensive to have alloys repaired.

Some might pop up on eBay, but I wouldn't say they are rare. May be try Vaux for a new 1?! Or an excuse to upgrade

They are quite common wheels IMO, it's just that no one wants to sell them 
I have a them on mine and the trouble is they look just right  otherwise I reckon more people would be selling them

Yea they do look nice  Deano I dont want to upgrade them, I like the look of them . Im rife to go anywhere near a stealers for anything as they tend to see you coming, then bend you over as well...

Being honest mate i doubt we'd sell 3 anyway.
If she doesnt want them you can just have one, No point in selling it to you.
There just lying in the back garden anyway. I'll go up later and see if there still there and see what the deal is.
