Ahhh man!! Did you cry? I would?
But to be honest it's bound to happen sometime unless you park 2 feet away from everything.
Did you take dealers wheel ins?

Hope you get it sorted.

Just bought an OEM set off eBay, German. £747 inc shipping.
2nd hand and a few marks.... but a damn sight better than mine currently.

So will take the best of the German 4 and make my set.
Then use the worst 4 as winter wheels.

Law of sod.

Absolutely gutted for you.  That looks a pretty complicated colour and finish to replicate for a refurbishing company?  Can the red bit be bought separately?

No it’s painted.
Red is on top of grey, which is then lacquered.

Purchased those, so here’s hoping the best one is pretty good.
The best one doesn't look too bad.  You could get the other 3 and your scratched one refurbed in plain grey for around £200 or so?
