What have you done re patching it up Steve

Any pics?

PS there was a Vancouver sold on eBay a week or two ago for about £60.
Might be worth keeping a look out.

I'm sure they were £420 from the dealer but I was given 25% off as I bought the car there. £340 rings a bell for the final cost.

I'd only had the car for a couple of days when a dog ran out and I had to mount a small island to avoid it.

If it happened now I think I would just spend the £340 on a new set of alloys.

That's not too bad now Steve.

You can live with it in the short term until you decide what to do.

That company I mentioned, well I got it's name slightly wrong! It is www.lepsons.com

Could be worth asking them. They do very good work. Not cheap but nowhere near the cost of a wheel.
