ARGHHH CURBED ALLOY!!!

[Moomin_Man]

I go out of my way to donate a few hour each week to the local cub pack. What do i get for my efforts...a curbed front drivers side alloy. Completely my own fault, but I still don't know how i did it.

Will Renault repair the alloy, or do I need to go to a specialist?

So annoying!!!!!

Ahh Noo! How bad mate? I got some alloy protection thing when I bought mine, can get up to 6 (IIRC) alloys refurbished if there is damage to them, did you not get anything of the sort?

 

[Moomin_Man]

Wasn't offered anything like that :S
Could have came in handy!

Twingo alloys are so easy to kurb. Id wait til they are bad and do it then coz over the winter its bound to happen again

Did come to mind! Slippy cobbles didn't help the matter.

Right, slept on it, gonig to be a cheap skate and paint it myself until after christmas.
Looks like it hasn't damaged metal, just scuffed paint.
Already got lots of primers and gloss black paint. Is alloy paint much tougher? Or could I use standard gloss black auto paint for temp use?
