Didn't spot this before I collected it from the dealer. Any advice on how to get it fixed please, I'm in Weston-super-Mare. Thank you

How deep are the scratches? They don't look too deep. Still gutting. Was the car new from the dealership? I should think most alloy wheel/coachworks type places could do that.
I'm not local so couldn't possibly recommend!

If you want the job done properly, and I do mean properly, not some cheap job, then I can only personally recommend The Wheel Specialist franchise. Nearest one to you is Avonmouth, Bristol, 20 miles or so:

I haven't used the Bristol franchise myself, but if they are as professional as the franchise up here in the Midlands, they will be excellent. My local franchise recently did a fantastic repair on one of my wife's diamond cut Hyundai i10 wheels. That repair cost £80. I had to have a full strip and powder coat on one of my Saab 9-3 wheels last year and that cost me £90, but that includes remounting/balancing of the wheel/tyre.

It's used ('15 plate) but only collected her yesterday and only noticed it when I got home [emoji25]
That's a real shame, it is easily done though. Looks like Frupi has sent a useful link, good luck, let us know how you get on.

I've sent a picture and a quote request, it's about £75, so not bad at all. Thank you Frupi!
I have one the same, I was quoted £40-£50 locally. Haven't got around to it yet.

What kind of dealer is that any one worth their "salt " would have repaired that before it was even shown for sale. Sure you didn't catch it on a kerb yourself its quite easy to do in a "new" car . If not I would take it back pronto.
