Repair of kerbed alloy

[Ealing Cupra]

Anyone got experience - good or bad - of getting Cupra standard 18" alloys repaired? [Don't ask - going through a b*******er of a width restriction in the dark when new to the car]

I got one of mine repaired and it looks spot on. Cost about £80 from a mobile repairer but quite a big company that cover a lot of the North.

Some people mention some repairers struggle with the colour match but it didn't phase the bloke at all who did mine.

Dealer has mentioned possible issues with colour match. Would be interested to know if anyone in London area has had successful repair and could recommend.

I'd like to know someoe in the London area too.

I had a toora alloy repaired by a local alloy repair guy, he matched the paint by eye as toora would not give out the code and I could not see it ... look for someone who does Smart Repairs in the yellow pages ..

LapTab are the best in the west midlands, if that helps

Had mine done by a mobile repairer, match the paint fine and £40 later it was as good as new these guys are superb but it's often not as bad as it looks

What did Laptab quote you? How big was your damage?

Lap Tab seem pretty good, they have a branch in Manchester just down the road from me.

Cancel that big up for laptab !

Tried them when I curbed my wheel pre xmas, couldnt match the colour & said I'd have to have all 4 done.




I tried my local chipsaway fella & he came out, matched the colour with a bit of mixing, £40 +vat

Was it the one on Hammersmith bridge, I hate that one!

Good luck with the wheel.
