I kerbed one of my alloys within 30mins of leaving the dealership!!! Even more annoying since in the previous 3 years with my F11, I'd managed to acquire precisely zero damage.
I recently picked up a Z4 and that has some minor kerb damage that I'm getting sorted. I've found a local spray shop that do a basic re-spray (breaking of tyre bead and repair/respray of exterior face) for £55. A full tyre off, sand-blast and powder coat treatment inside and out is £85. |

I put another kerb on one of my wheels last weekend, biggest one yet at about 8 inches!
I'll be giving the car back to the lease company in 16 months so I can't be bothered to fix them! |

Has someone not told you not to rip up the pavement?

I paid £117.00 to have a Daimond Cut Alloy repaired a couple of months ago.. The car was off the road for four days, such is the demand for this repair that only a few shops can carry it out. My BMW dealer recommended them to me as they don't have the kit.
