Being repaired today 18/03/2010
told about £35 + vat
I will confirm on here if repair good

This is not going to end well :(

Im guessing you have the 18 showdow Monzas? If this is the case then as someone said they are diamond cut and only special machines can do this hence the high cost. For £35 + VAT they will NOT be doing a proper job and you may end up causing more damage than good.

Repair cost £47.00 and 12 months guarantee!!
the wheel has been recut!!! or reground
result looks good.
Well done my VW dealer, well impressed.
What he tells me is the firm calls once a fortnight to repair traded in cars and demonstrator wheels
mine was just added to the list and I probs got the dealers rate. :cool:
