Alloys Damage Why you should never let anyone drive your car!!

Vet_2010 · 26th June 2008, 17:54

Mum took the car to work this morning and moved over a bit too far to avoid a lorry on a windy road!

Hopefully I can get it repaired as good as new, I've heard a few stoires of repaired alloys being darker afterwards

Easy to fix that mate , cost you £50

Dimplyred · 26th June 2008, 17:59

It will be an easy fix, there doesn't look to be much alloy damage, just the paint.

Nevertheless I bet you're gutted, I know I would be

did she own up or you found it

Dimplyred · 26th June 2008, 18:04

Poor old Mum

I bet she was as sad as you.

Ooops

!

Sorry to see the damage on your wheel. I bet your mother is mortified! By the sounds of things you should be able to get it fixed and looking like new in no time.

Don't forget to invoice your mother for the repairs

Lucky she missed the lorry !

Vet_2010 · 26th June 2008, 19:05

lol yes she owned up to it, she knows I have OCD where the car is concerned so there was no chance of hiding it.

I'm just going to have to give up the cleaning for a while to cover it up until I get it fixed.
Anyone from N. Ireland know of anyone that they'd reccommend to fix damage like this?
Am I right in thinking it will be fixed on the car and the whole wheel won't be refurbished? I really don't want there to be any difference in colour.

No they should take it off and do it

civicfan · 26th June 2008, 19:57

It gets worse, imagine how the car would look if she did not avoid the lorry
