The dreaded day as finally come... after owning many different cars since 1999 and not damaging any of their alloys my 19" Santiago alloy has been curbed (my fault). :cry: :cry: :cry:
There is no damage to the tyre or any of the black gloss section, nor is there any damage to the main surface area.
Managed to damage about 1-2" next to the edge of the tyre.
Any idea's if this can be repaired without having to diamond-cut (refurb) the whole alloy wheel? :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:
I have put a thick dollop of AutoGlym HD wax on it to keep the water out.... hope this keeps the white worm at bay.
Totally gutted!! :sad: :sad: :sad:

Unfortunately it's a total diamond re-cut and refinish as there is no other alternative......that is unless you can put up with an average job by a smart repairer!

I see you live in S.Yorkshire,I don't know if Stockport is too much of a trek but last year I used PrestigeWheels,106 Richardson Street Stockport to refirb my damaged diamond monza.They really did a top job I can't recommend them enough.I think they charged £120.

Sorry to hear that, gutting. I know you are not to far away and there is a place near me called Auto therapy which my mate used for his A3 S Line wheel recently.

I think it was about £95 and took 4 days to do properly.
PM if you want anymore info, I have been meaning to contact him to see if he was happy with the job. I might be visiting soon myself as a taxi forced my partner into a curb last night so her A1 wheel is all scuffed :sad:
