glad they are sorting it for you, wouldnt of suprised me if they told you where to go tbh.

and all i can say is atleast they didnt buckle your wheel like the place that did mine cant wait to go back in when i get it back from being sorted so they can put the tyre on properly....

All useless round Cumbria Matt!

Denton marked all 4 of my perfect TT wheels!
Gates usually only half tighten your wheel bolts!
Camskill next for me I think, just done old fellas BM and were very careful!

Its gutting cos they were absolutely mint before hand, not a mark in sight. I've never kerbed an alloy wheel in 8+ years of driving!

I've rung them again and he's heard nothing from his boss at their head office so he's going to ring them and then get back to me...

I've dropped it off this morning to have them sorted... they're getting refurbed by a bodyshop rather than a man in a van. Said they want to keep the wheels in the oven as long as possible to get a good finish. Sounds promising. Hope they have a good finish on them when I pick it up later!

Its never bloody simple is it!

The bodyshop cant start work on them till tomorrow and now they might need to have the wheels for 2 days as they are worse than they thought?

Jesus Christ these guys couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!

Least they're being done in a bodyshop, a man in a van was never going to work out

Fixed They look pretty good TBH, like new again.

When I first bought the car the dealer had one of the wheels refurbed by a man in a van and I always thought it had a bad paint finish on it and could tell plus it had chipped a bit of paint off one of the spokes in winter. So now that one is actually better than it was before!

They kept the wheels last night as they were still in the oven, sounds like they have a proper job done on them and they look like they have too
