Funny you should say that...when Fletch bobs on, I`m sure he`ll update you about how his wheels are and how `his` Donna was not the most popular person in Fletch land.

If, in your mind, this equation makes sense: 2+2=4, you would be right on the money....

crying, crying shame.....

If I answered yes to the question `Has Mrs Fletch been driving the car and kerbed AN alloy` I would be lying.....

Yup, both offsides scraped around 70% of the rim.

In Donna's defense it was a choice of get too close to the kerb or let the truck pulling across into her lane take the front wing off.

Donna is really cut up about it. I think she actully feels worse than I do.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, Chris. Sounds like the damage could have been worse, so I guess we should be grateful for small mercies.

On the bright side, it's amazing what these wheel repair companies can do in terms of refurbishing kerbed alloys, at not great expense. Fingers crossed for you

Cheers bud, and thanks to Col for sorting the mats.
Nice one.

I was saying to Colin, I'm not sure what to do about them. They are going to get scratched again. When you use it as much as I do, it happens. There's also a little mark on a third one. I might as well wait for them all to get stuffed up and get the whole lot done.

They are my favourite alloys on any vehicle. Irresp of price.

I mentioned to Fletch that Nissan agrees. You`ll notice the 300Bhp NisMo 350z is equipped with a set of alloys that look remarkably `Volks like`. Further digging, turns out they are Volks, badged Nismo.
