Wife was kindly run off the road on a narrow lane, by some arse ignoring the right of way signs, ( no she didnt get the reg! :angry: ) kerbed the front alloy badly, spoken to a guy in Wakefield that said between £60 - £80 as by the sounds needs machining, this about right ?, he is the only one I can find who can do the finish ( 18" monza II ). BUT he did say cant promise the finish will be identical to others due to machine angle etc etc.... will it matter, be noticable etc, or should I just hunt EBAY for new wheel.. thanks

Sounds about right to me.

Feel the pain, I encounter ignorant drivers all the time, which come way too close to me which makes me mad!
I was absolutely furious last week as I curbed my first alloy! I've heard the Monza II's are quite expensive from the dealer
BUT a company called spit and polish are supossed to be quite good at refurbing them, Im waiting for a reply from them about cost etc.

Spit & Polish never did get back to me so went to http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com
Very pleased with their work. Second wheel in with them now. Costing me £55 a wheel.
