On cleaning my wheels the other day I noticed that either my girlfriend or I have touched the pavement with the alloy wheel whist moving and taken a small chunk out of the wheel. I expected this to happen eventually, given my partners parking skills, but is there any way to repair the damage.

Whilst taking in our company Cooper, I saw that the dealer had someone in repairing alloy wheels on some MINI's.
He apparently charges £50 per wheel. Having seen the before and after repair, I would say it is money well spent. The repair was invisible.

Call your local MINI dealer and ask if they can give you a number for someone they use.
Or the person they use might call in the same day each week.

Just going to look at our new MCS, ready for collection on 1st March.
16 Days to go.

Best of luck.

Mark.
