HELP ! can this b repaired
Ouch i feel for you, must admit that was one reason for opting for the acenta premium. To answer your question, Yes that can be repaired. There are loads of companies out there that specialise just google 'alloy wheel repair'. As for cost no idea but i have seen similar threads on other car forums and price averages seem to be in the region of £60- £150 depending on type of alloy and extent of damage. Best thing would be to phone a few up and get quotes etc.

To prevent repeat occurrence get new husband.

Lol getting a new husband did cross my mind I must say he was cacking his pants having to tell me lol
I have searched for places in norwich that fit the alloygators but cant seem to find any am I right in thinking that nissan them selves have something similar that they can fit

hi bev. just read your texts , my local Nissan garage has just invested in a diamond wheel cutter for this type of repair. they take the tyre off. fit the wheel to a machine , then recut the ally. into the spray shop , re- lacquered. this can be done a max of 5 times. its about £90 a go. not cheap.
