The wife has kindly modified the diamond cut alloys on the f31. There's a half inch scrape on the lip. Research has suggested the face of the wheel can be remachined on a lathe but until she learns to drive properly I'm inclined to have it smoothed with a buffing wheel. A 90% good as new finish will suffice without preventing it being refinished at a later date. Any recommendations for this in East London/Essex? Should be well within a mobile guys remit...also suggestions on who can remachine the face at a later date appreciated.

Time for a replacement.................................................. wife. :wink:
 
Trust me... I've thought about it.

Thing is she makes herself useful around the kitchen. 😋

I could've turned the air blue when I found out: apoplectic, especially since we've only had the wagon 2weeks and my last words were: 'make sure you take it up a dropped kerb' when parking. 😪

Just a guess but I bet your good lady doesn’t see these posts! :wink:
 
Nah. But I've eluded to it... She pretty much guessed what I'd write verbatim. Knows me too well. Might keep the old workhorse a bit longer (f31+wife)
 
Essex wheels in Harlow are the best in the local area....do a great job on these for sensible money.
