Cheers Sharki786.

I'm from dudley area, been asking around, as really don't want to lose the polished lip, which one company said would happen because of them being fake splits.

Think I may just get the dremel out and put up with a slight dent in the rim.

There'll be plenty of that, but will def have to dremel first, nasty gouge  :cry:

I was hoping to find someone who tig welds, so they could build it back up before refurbing  :undecided:

Its a bit of a treck but Chartwells in Derby are a mint repairers. I used them to paint my mirror caps black on my Sciroco and my bro has used them for a wheel repair on a polished wheel.
