Fed up, cheesed off, totally in a bad mood!

[Simonet]

but it's my own fault.... looked at some else's miss fortune and clipped a curb onto the slip road. Result, two damaged Alloys and Two damaged Tyres!

Anyone selling their ED30 Alloys!!!!

Unlucky mate, horrible feeling when you hear the rims scrape against the kerb ain't it!? When some idiot pranged my wing the other week they also slightly scuffed the rim, very minor, but I phoned VW for a price for a replacement just out of interest and they wanted 350 odd quid + VAT!  So I didn't bother.

if they are 17" then you can get them refurbed for around £60 per alloy.
If theya re 18" then good luck trying to refurb them as theya are 2 tone

hi to all : new to your site and ive introduced myself
All i have to say on this , i feel for you , as thr miss'es ( BLESS HER ) did mine not so long back , SHE IS NOW BANNED FROM DRIVING MY PRIDE AND JOY.
no seriosly i really do feel for you , i know how i felt.

[Simonet]

Thanks.... They are the 18" Pescara / Peskara whatever they are called Edition 30 wheels so they aren't two tone. With regards the Mrs, she won't even drive the car because of how careful I am (OR WAS) with the car. I guess it's my own fault for being so paranoid. To be honest I'm glad I did rather then her, I would have been in a really bad mood and I guess that wouldn't have been fair.

Need the best quote for some new Dunlop Sportmax's, people have slated them, but I think they save a lot of damage to the rim and they drive fine for me. Shame they've only got 4500 miles on em!

Least it's no body / paint damage is all I can say. Still feel like poo!

I'm in the same club. Got my alloys fixed as there were a few "dings" from new and then a day later hit a kerb on the way out of Heathrow.

WASN'T HAPPY!

Not going to get it fixed though cos it's not that bad. I'm sure over the next few months/year I'll pick up a few more scuffs and I'll get them sorted when it's more noticeable.

I give all kerbs a wide berth now though!!

Bad luck indeed. Sounds like a 4 wheel alignment would be a good idea also.

[Simonet]

well i've sorted the tyres.... £240 fitted for two of them. Thought I'd stick with the SP Sportmaxx, really find them a good tyre and don't want odd tyres.

Just the alloy refurn now!

[Russ.C]

Thats not bad for two 18" tyres, I remember paying over £300 for a pair of Mich PS2's to go on my R last year  How bad are the rims?

[Simonet]

you can see the rims here.
