hit curb :<

[metsub]

was driving tired ;( stupid i know,
kind of didnt see a curb!

anyway my alloy is scratched ..im hoping i can get it refurbished..but my question is about the tyre...it has a gash to the side of it with a chunk of rubber that i could pull off..

Apart from that the tyre is still fine...car drives okay..drove it for almost an hour to get home and still seems fine..

does anyone know if i need to replace the whole tyre or if it can be repaired? can anyone recommend a place to do this near south london?

would appreciate it a quick reply as i want to get it repaired this morning before my parents notice...

thanks

edit: can this be done at a mini dealership?

hi. done same on 320 d some 12 months ago and was just the alloy protector strip.
superglued it back and now done another 20 k with no problems.
ps was bridgestone run flat...

car is used by wife and driven hard.....

got the tyre replaced £90 at kwikfit, only place that could do it today, however if i coulda waited a day could have been done for 70 @ etyres.com ... which ill probably use next time...would still appreciate it if someone could recommend an alloy refurbishment place??

thanks
