The problem with the Vancouvers are they are diamond cut like the Monzas. 

When I hit a kerb I was told by a few local places that the cost to fix would be around £120 but because they were diamond cut the finish wouldn't be the same as the other wheels. Although to be honest I don't think it would be that noticeable.
Unfortunately I ended up buying a new wheel from VW  :cry:

Steve. The Vancouvers are in the region of £400  :shocked:
Not sure if you can get cheaper via TPS or GSF?

Steve:

Monza Shadows are approx £450 inc VAT so the Vancouvers, which are slightly cheaper, would probably be approx £400 inc VAT. So really expensive. :shocked:

p3asa probably has an exact cost.
