Hi,

I've managed to slip on the road today and curb my alloys. Can anyone suggest what to do?

After you've stopped crying

There are companies who specialise in fixing up alloys and it's been discussed on MINI2 before. Try searching the forums you never know there might be one in your area already mentioned.

If it;s really bad (assuming it's 2 wheels max) then you might be best to buy new ones.

Thanks for that.

Any ideas how much new 5 star daytona alloys will cost?

Spoken to the dealer, much cheaper than I thought. Is it worth getting the steering and the tracking checked out just to be on the safe side or as there are no warning lights am I ok?

I would think that if the impact was severe enough to ruin your wheels, then you'd be wise to have at least the alignment checked. I'd have someone look at the suspension, too.
