WIFE + ED30 + TIGHT SPOT = WHEEL & CURB GETTIN FRIENDLY!
« on: March 09, 2009, 07:46:43 pm »

Just brilliant, its not too bad but its there and on a car which hadn't a mark on it!

Spoke to the Steelers, lowest price 4 a wheel £350!!!!

Anyone know where I can get a A+ job done on the wheel with a correct colour match/finish etc?

Live in the east of england, near Norwich/Ipswich. :angry015:

Cheers.

Just looked at the chipsaway site.

Its a franchise business, so you could get a right balls up if you get the wrong person.

Last franchise company I used nearly ended in ww3, bloody 5 year old could of done a better job!

W Wheels was the company I believe.

Its a bit pot luck I think if you get someone on the ball

Under no circumstance allow chips away to repair your wheel, it is a well known fact that all they do is cover the damaged area and overspray the rest of the wheel and do so without removing the tyre, it is called a local repair, take it to a decent bodyshop, i would be most surprised if they can not do a quality full respray with the tyre removed.

I had them do 3 dent removals on my golf over the past 3 years.  Always a perfect job.  As above a franchise so im lucky they call in a good dent guy. If i get another dent im gonna ask him for his business card and cut out the chips away cost
