I dont know how easy it will be to match the red up to the others. Ive heard about the guy in Gorseinon but not sure about his reputation.

Cool

Hi, when I used to work in an accident repair centre we used to use Renowheel in Bridgend contact details as below:

Renowheel
Tel/Fax 01656 657993 Mobile: 078844 30682

They did a good job and were not too badly priced either, not the cheapest but they did a cracking job.

Hope this is of help

I've just taken a set of wheels to Renowheel based on a recommendation on another forum. I should get them back next week so can let you know if they did a good job if you like.

Mine don't have a red lip though. Maybe your dad ought to pay for all 4 of them to have the lips redone?

FWIW, I got my wheels back from Renowheel yesterday, very happy with the job, though it's going to be another month before I put them on a car and see if they managed to get it 100% round again (one of them was buckled a little)
