Curbed my alloys :(

Always very careful when parking up.....leaving half a mile between curb and wheels.

Went to the chip shop the other day a little hungover and well the rest is fairly easy to figure.

Lucky it's not too bad and I have managed to fill it using a alloy repair paste. Unfortunately the paint it came with is nowhere near a colour match.

Can anyone suggest when to get some alloy paint that will match better?
 
Try Performancemotorcare.com or on Amazon Wurth bmw alloy wheel paint I got some its a good match and came in good time as discribed hope this helps :thumbsup:
 
Did one of my wheels a few weeks ago in a Nottingham multistorey car park. I'll get around to getting it fixed, there are some good mobile techs who don't charge a fortune, last time I used one (admittedly a few years ago) it was about £30 to fix one wheel.
 
You're lucky with the 326's... they can just be painted. The 296's are diamond cut face, look fantastic when directional light shines on them, but scrap them and they cannot be repaired other than to repaint which would lose the lovely diamond cut face.
 
Hit a dislodged curb stone going into an underground multistory car park last yer and scratched 2 spokes on my front left wheel. Got my dealer to smart repair it. Great job! Cant tell where it was now!
 
I see my dealer is offering an Alloy Wheel "Insurance" £250 and they will do upto 10 repairs over 3 years. Didn't take the oprtion, but was vry tempted.
 
It's multi-storey car parks that get me. They seem to deliberately place b****y great kerbs next to pay machines on the exit. Did three wheels in one go a couple of years back in Brighton. Can't stand that gut wrenching feeling when it happens. :(
