After 6 months of ownership I managed to badly kerb rear right alloy whilst navigating a tight parking lot.

I hear these are a pain to repair. The car is leased through arval so I'm wondering whether it's even worth repairing it right now and I should just deal with it before handing the car back. Anyone know what Arval charge for alloy damage?

I wonder whether that's for standard alloys as these are diamond cut and needed to be 'machined' so would be more expensive? Either way I'm not sure whether it's worth the hassle dealing with them right now as I would have a heart attack if I kerb them again post repair (did I mention I've got side cameras ).

I wonder if I need to apply anything to these to stop them from corroding? Also, any temporary fix (lacquer etc)?

Any decent wheel shop can refurb diamond cut for around £100. although the process takes 4-5 days

Usually less. I know somewhere in Essex (Chemlsford) that I used to do my R8 wheels and Mercedes wheels. Highly recommended.

I have a brand new one of these sat in my garage.

Arval charge £55 for a fact. I had 20" wheels on the car i handed back end of November, they advised me not to have them done as they can't be done for less than that anywhere, and they were true to their word, only stopped me £110 and three of the wheels were kerbed.

Cheers rick. Will let Arval deal with it.
