My lovely Alloys! - schoolboy error

hi

 

today i attempted to change my front shocks but seen as i got up so late i decided to paint the front calipers instead - fine. only one problem - i went to put my alloys back on and put one down metal side down onto the driveway. now i have marked my newly refurbished alloy and feel gutted.

 

anyone know how to do a quick easy repair? - the marks are superficial only and havent taken any chunks out.

 

thanks,

if they arnt to bad just wait on for a bit... you are bound to hit a kerb at some point (pessamistic yes i know) so just get them fully refurbed then. same happend to me, i know its buggin you i know how you feel :(

its only cos i try to move forward with the car but end up creating more work for myself! im trying to keep my chin up tho and just accept these things happen to cars in the big wide world.

 

 

Yep i remember when someone stepped on my new trainers at school... I felt like crying :cry:

 

(trying to make you feel better)

thanks makes me feel a little better. thing is - nothing will touch em for years now - it just happens moments after you shell out. i dont get it.

 

Nic - its a powder coat finish and its sort of chipped up the anthracite finish...any fix for this?
