Has anyone had the unfortunate experience I have had, when the wife comes home, makes you your tea, starts to creep round you, plumps up the cushion, brings you a nice cold drink in and generally be nice, then tell you that they have just kerbed your shiny 18inch Khan RSS, virutally the whole way round the wheel.

Im sure I have read somewhere that Khans cannot be fixed when they are kerbed, anyone else heard this, anyone had a Khan referbed??

Thanks

Err I can't see why they would be different to any other wheel? Could be difficult to match the paint but apart from that all it takes is a bit of rubbing down and possibly a small amount of filler! I wouldn't imagine it will be too taxing..

Yep, thats what I thought, matching the colour would be more taxing than the fixing.

Sorry to tell you this mate but if the lip of the wheel is damaged there is no way the wheel can be repaired did the same thing when parking the car not to long a go

Bad news! Did you try to get yours fixed.

I used to hate it when Jemima did that. So I left her.
