In a hurry, trying to move car back after mowing lawn, next door parked outside my house again, so was in the wrong place and just managed to scrape the passenger front whilst manoeuvring.

 

Jeez those 19" Extremes ding up real nice...

 

I am sure it will repair fine, but it is $200 I could spend on something else.

 

 

:peek: 

 

Such a horrible sound when it happens too

Bugger! Dreading it if I do mine, have been kerb free for 2 years.

I avoid parking next to any kerb if I can help it, that way you never kerb your wheels!

Nearly has bad of the grinding of my teeth when I realised what I had done!

I do normally too.

 

One slip is all it takes!

they are very nice wheels and a joy to clean but I imagine you don't get many chances at restoring them as once they have been machined the raised bit will be almost flush.. take care park away from kerbs or on them like I do!

 

my old mk2 Blackline was 4 years old and the wheels were mint and like new, I've probably gone  and jinxed it now!!

I just coat my curbs with dingo so my wheels dont get damaged.

Its mostly multi-story carparks that get me. My old car bares a number of scars where I have tried getting close enough to the ticket machine to not have to open the door.

Also the kerb on the junction outside my house. The amount of times I have clipped it in the morning is horrid. With my new car I'm taking a wide berth with every kerbed corner.
