I think dish should cost approx 80 quid if i remeber?
How bad is the kurb damage? I used wet and dry fine paper on mine and it came out good!
Fir the price of a refurb, why not get 2 wider dishes?  :smiley:

Sorry to hijack :smiley: but on a similar note my schmidt th-lines have a wee bit of a scrape on the lip, I was considering wet & drying it but looks like they're lacquered or have a 'finish' as standard? Any ideas?

i dont lacquer them as it wont adhere properly to a polished finish ,
so you would have to seal them and keep em clean!
