Where are these 'wicked wheels' guys hiding?

Is it local to you?

Blimey!

£300

I think I'll pop down to B&Q for some filler and some ally paint!

I understand that, but £300 does sound a bit pricey.

......and how long will the repair last?

Maybe they are backed by Honda!!!

i use lepsons where wheels go in for repair £200

£300 seems way to much to be paying try automotive repair for mobile or lepsons - maidstone kent

Now that seems to be more sensible, but still pricey tho'!

How do they effect a repair, does anyone know?

......and how long will that repair last?

Thanks for the info

Sounds almost ok then.

Surely then you will probably need to get your wheels balanced again.

And if you've bashed your rims once, you're bound to give them another aren't you?

Then that £300/£400 becomes very expensive.

......back to B&Q it is then!

Unless you like throwing £300 away agin!
