    Basically i have scuffed one of my alloys not too much on a flat area of the wheel.

    Just wondering what is a quick fix, for this? they are silver and the scuff is black. Any recommended repair kits? just to blend it in lol

    cheers

    got pics? would no doubt be a sanding back job or if its just a light scuff then you can cover it with some silver paint

    well it all depends on how deep it is. i.e has it just scratched the paint or the actual alloy its self. If its the alloy you can buy stuff called chemical metal which you mix together with hardner then apply it to the area that needs it let it dry then sand till smooth

    If its not deep and there is a black mark you could try carefully sanding it off. Or you could get a tyre repair kit from Halfords, sure they are some where around £15?

    If not most places repair alloys for around £50 each.
