Just properly kerbed it. front alloy now scratched to hell, and joy of joys chunk missing out of side wall of tyre.

Gutted mate, bad luck.............never done it that bad, but it always sucks when you kerb a rim

 

[flashman]

beats the hell out of me, park in office car park all the time. running late this morning, swing it in to a space bordering access road, sckreeeeeeck... razor sharp kerb sliced away tire side wall and alloy.

You might have bent a track rod too - best get that checked (for free if you can).

arse. hears hoping the tire hasnt gone done since i left it this morn, as being highly organised my locking wheel nuts key is 30 miles away at home

Useful - so why keep locking wheel nut key at home?!

Bad luck though what size alloys are they?

 

[flashman]

I keep my locking wheel nut key at home for no good reason at all, well , mainly due to absent mindedness. They were immaculate 16 inch new dynamic style rims.

This is the best place to put it (the locking wheel nut I mean!)

hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing. from now on it will live in that special boot place, and a pen will grace my glove box lid.

This ended recently with NO bids:

Seemed a good price as well.
