I have posted the link for the local enginering shop we use.

Yeah I've given them an email, see roughly how much it'll cost :) thank you.

Also worth bearing in mind that some alloy wheel refurb companys will repair it at the same time as the refurb.

About the size of a 20p in width, and 2 - 3mm in deep. :)

get some Liquid Metal, basically a metal filler is wat u require as i found that normal filler will sand quicker than the surrounding alloy, resulting in a dip!

that aint a chunk lol, try something abt the size of £2 coin lol

LOL! Fair enough, I will get a pic tomorrow to show you the extent of the damage, you might change you mind :P I'm in no rush atm, but I want them done so they look MUCH better than they do already, but also if I do come to sell them, they'll be like new.
