Offline | Just scrapped one of my alloys against the kerb !! My own fault, can't blame anyone else. Just phoned the local dealer to be told a new wheel is £ 110.64 plus the VAT and plus however much the service department want to swap the wheel over. May have a look on ebay to see if I can get a decent spare and then have mine refurbished. Any one know if there is a refurbishment place in the north west? Gordo ![]() |

Offline | What!!!????!!!! They'd charge you to change a wheel????????? Outrageous, do it yourself - hardly rocket science. Or get the tyre fitters to do it when they put a tyre on your new wheel. |

Offline | Oh, painful ... Sympathies, mate.... I know it's only a matter of time before I do this too, I'm dreading it! Almost to the point of doing it on purpose just to get it over with! (Actually, that IS a bit extreme... ) |

Offline | 22 months into ownership here and this last weekend I noticed a 1 1/2" curbing mark on the passenger front wheel, had to happen eventually. It will make parallel parking easier now that the seal is broken. To top that not an hour latter I got onto the freeway and "tick" got a ding in the windshield the first one is the hardest to take, my condolences....WARNING-Objects in rear view mirror have a tendency to disappear! 9/20 build '03 MCS IB/W/W, everything but the NAV & Sunroof |
