So p*ssed off!

[geordieracer]

I have just started fitting my new OZ Super-Ts, and the bloody torque wrench has scratched the alloy. Looks like it has dug through the lacquer to the metal. Going to go and buy a double depth socket to give some more clearance once my lazy ass flatmate gets out of bed to give me a lift to Halfords.

Are those alloy repair kit things any good?

location?

 

[geordieracer]

Up in North east scotland in a place called lossiemouth. Suppose if i was close to a refurb place they could do something about it?

 

[Lee coley]

yep if you was closer id offer my services,

 

[geordieracer]

Nearest ones to me appear to be at least a 3 hr drive. Might have a look at those kits if Halfords have them

 

[Lee coley]

never seen them,try a body shop?

 

[geordieracer]

Just seen that chips away do repairs to alloy wheels. Got a local one of those so gonna give him a bell sometime to come and take a look.

 

[Lee coley]

not the best them chips away alloy repairs,u got a pic?

 

[geordieracer]

There you go, look a lot worse in one of the pics. Pretty sure its just the lacquer. Just annoyed I am so far away from any decent proper wheel refurbishers.

What a shitter.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Bummer! Looks worse in the first pic than it does in the second.

 

[geordieracer]

Tell me about it, absolutely gutting feeling. Think that on my next day off I can get during the week, gonna have to do a 6 hr round trip to get it sorted.

 

[Lee coley]

are they decals?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Long way to go to get it fixed, nobody closer at all?

6 hour trip plus however long it takes to fix, gonna make it a very long day.

 

[geordieracer]

Not sure, but the scratch is definitely not on a decal.

Have done a search and the nearest alloy wheel refurbishment places I could find to me were Glasgow. So about 3 hrs to get there.

 

[Lee coley]

cant you send it and pay for the postage cost back?

 

[geordieracer]

Would rather drive down to be honest. Can't be had with taking all the wheels back off. Plus I enjoy driving so its not too bad, can always pop in on a girl I know down there too

 

[Beef-Mc]

If your heading to Glasgow, head to recoat, something like £33 a side for 16".
