I messed up and clipped a curb in the delivery area behind a shopping center, Its a 2014 V8S gloss black front. Repair advise or place to find one used? I hate myself....the good news is that it was scrapped already from the previous owner, the bad news is that I made it much worse!

 

Depending on how bad it is, a mobile wheel repair person should be able to refinish it.

 

Thanks....even used they are $500+. I should be able to find someone here in Dallas.

 

+1. That should cost about $150. A lot less than the cost of a used wheel.

 

Speaking of rims, what I don't like on the carbon fiber rims is the aluminum color on the outside lip, I wish they would have made it one color. Has any one had it painted?

 

pics of the damage?

 

Call your local Jag dealer (or porsche or benz) and ask who they use to fix their curbed wheels. Saved me a bunch of $$ and the mobile service did an incredible job - like new!

 

Relax! The first rim is the hardest to deal with. Real easy to get repaired (unless you really beat it up) and it gets easier from here.

I remember my first rim. It was like dropping a baby. Take a chill-pill, get it fixed and move on.

There is life after your first rim-ding.

 

+1. The wheel repair guys are great. I had a similar thing happen with mine. You can't even tell there was a problem.
