ARRGGGHHH just scraped my alloys on a curb

Featured Replies

Ive just turned my steering wheel on my VRS over a small sharp curb and its scraped the alloy up like you wouldnt believe. I could have cried. Whats my best choice now other than replacing the whole wheel?

Car was unblemished before.

Yours gutted

er get it refurbished ??

I also did this recently, your options are to buy a new one from Skoda, have it refurbished or buy an aftermarket set and sell me one of your good ones.:thumbup:

Sorry that seems an awfully arsy comment by me.

I remember how I felt when kerbed my new Octy vRS alloy, boy was I angry :(

You can get it refurbed at a lot of places, give us a location and I am sure a lot of recommendations for places will come up :)

im in leicester. will a refurb look identical to the others or slight difference in colour?

It should look identical. Expect to pay about £50 though. If I was you, wait until the worst of the winter has gone first, unless its really bad. You don't want to slip on some ice and do another in.
