Damaged my alloy this morning as my car decided to slide into a kerb on ice this morning. Anyway I have attached a picture and would like to know if you think it can be refurbished or not

 

[Typecamy]

Yes mate that can be refurbished. Iv seen alot worse damaged.
A proper refurb should be able to do it. I'd say about £70 mate. Give them a call just don't use mobile refurb they don't really have the equipment to do it.
Hope this helps.

 

[harhay]

it looks like the seal is undammaged, so yes it can be done about £50

 

[rossk1009]

I just need to find a decent place to fix it. Hopefully they will be able to get a good colour match. Iv ordered a new wheel as I don't have a spare wheel so I will get it refurbed after Xmas and see if I can maybe sell it on to get a bit money back

Haha. It was on my way round to my girlfriends this morning. She is getting the blame lol

 

[regan1985]

i feel for you, i had mine fixed and within a week i got cut up and have to do it all over again

Cheers mate.

I was worried as its the lip and they might not get a good colour match

There's a place up next to me in easy Kilbride mate, it's in the Kelvin Insustrial Estate, can't mind the name of it but I used them before and they were good!

Well I will be getting it sorted in march/April so will probably ask you again nearer the time mate

Are those alloy protectors around the sides?

If so, I take it they didn't help.

I had been thinking of getting some but both the price and now your photo are potentially putting me off.

 

[PURDIE BOY]

Powdertec in glasgow are good and you get a nice finish off them.

Thats just the alloy mate. It has a red lip that sticks out a bit

Cheers for that mate. Will be looking into it more once I put the new one on after the winter so I can send the damaged one to get fixed

The benefit of hindsight eh smartypants!

The words 'salt', 'wounds' and 'rubbing' spring to mind even if you are right derek

What can I say ? - there is NO downside, to being a "right smug git" !!! ...

 

[Alanok]

If the rest of the wheel is fine you could probably get away with just re-machining the lip and saving yourself some money.

True but I don't usually use my car in bad weather. I was unfortunate that this particular road was icy.

I will be getting winter wheels next year

Are they Rotas?
