Title: Kurbed, is it repairable?
Post by: VR6_Wherry on 23 July 2012, 15:16

Scraped against a wall some how.. never done anything like this before :angry: :cry:

Being polished i imagine i can only really remove the scratches.. what about the dent?

Yes its repairable, but may be more economical to replace with a 2nd hand item, especially as you have it polished...
And get your tracking checked

Looks like a fair crack just inside the spoke on the last pic Jamie.  :undecided:

Bit of liquid metal and some wet n dry, good as new!  :grin:

Good, didn't like those wheels anyway :D :kiss:

That does suck mate, hope you can repair it. My mate had a few repaired before and they were much worse than that.

Cheers Thom and Brad. I know they can be repaired, i didn't want to paint them now.. was just going to repolish them even better. Think you are right Thom, coincidence that just 1 has popped up on Ebay for £100?  :grin: Not paying that! :angry:

Sean that's not a crack that is the paint from when Shady had them polished.

Alex - you love them! :kiss:
