a good quality alloy wheel cleaners will be able to match them perfectly. local one to me costs £30 per wheel and ive always heard excellent reports about his work.

Re: Scraped Alloy Wheel 17" Petrol...Aaarrrgggghhh

Place in Kirkcaldy fixed my front alloy for £50,

Filled and sprayed back to factory standard Quaility

Top notch job, good look out the details if needed.

Are the wheel polished like the 1.9, if so this might not be so easy as it was when I had the active sport that it happend.
