Now you see it, now you don't... - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

Following my little encounter with the kerb when avoiding a fellow driver who was on the phone, the results look pretty good.

BEFORE...

AFTER...

To the untrained eye, you can't really see signs of a repair. Whether that's still the case in 9 or more months time who knows, but the work is guaranteed for 12 months.

The work carried out was a 'Retail Wheel Refurbishment' at my local dealer. £60 + £5 materials + VAT making £78 in all, and they had the car for a day.

My dealer charged £85 + VAT but they did valet the car !

I chewed up the alloy on my old 330d too rather frustratingly so took it to my dealer who did a fantastic job just like that!

You'll be pleased to know that for the next year I owned it, the repair remained absolutely perfect and you'd never know!!

Amazing. Will consider getting mine done now.

They hoovered out the inside but I did tell them not to worry about the exterior when I left it with them. Visions of some gritty sponge that's been dropped on the ground several times, being applied to my bodywork by the lad they pay £1 an hour to 'wash' cars

Good job and well done for getting it sorted not leaving it!

pirulove · 01-18-2013, 03:04 AM

Holy **** what an awesome job and for the money too! You must be chuffed

edz_f31 · 01-18-2013, 02:13 PM

Wow, that looks great

Sladester100 · 01-18-2013, 05:23 PM

Mate that looks excellent, and a fair price too

acabucca · 01-18-2013, 07:16 PM

Hi Rob

I am in east sussex, although nearer to kent. Did you use chandlers in hailsham?

Will get mine done once weather better

Thanks

RobUK · 01-19-2013, 01:43 AM

Have to say I'm really pleased with the result, and at £78 (inc VAT) feels like a bargain!

Yes I used Chandlers, but their Brighton (Portslade) dealership as it's nearer to me. Think they've got three - Brighton, Hailsham and Littlehampton. Good luck

Nice one

Thanks Rob
