They say you get nothing for nowt...
well going to take the T5 to Grand Dale Garage in Ferriby just outside hull tomorrow...
The boss of the house is on this Groupon website and they posted this up
http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/kingston_upon_hull/grand-dale-garage/730473
Alloy wheel repair from £29 for one, or £50 for two..so rang them, explained my spares got scuffs, one other is marked..and two others slight kerbing and one buckled...he booked me in for morning and said the scuffs and kerbing is covered under the £50 for two and if he can bend the other rim, re balance it etc it will be a £29, He said it will take half a day, as he has to remove all tyres, sand, fill, sand wheels then repaint and polish before re fitting tyres and balancing them up..
So i will report tomorrow if they have done a good job or not..o and if anyones intrested, dont worry about groupon, i havnt got through them as the chap isnt to bothered.just ring up and he will do the same deal!

Back with a nice clean car now chaps..was it worth it..well yes and no.
Yes - theres spotless, no scruffs, no scratches, no kerbing etc..good paint job..
No - didnt balance them very well or at all - could of maybe been cleaned better in places as i am sure i can see were he hasnt sanded the alloy in one place...
BUT - for £25 a corner you really really cant go wrong.
I am working tomorrow so will upload the pictures on to here so you can all see.
Now i am looking at the window at it..it does look ten times better!
If they had been balanced i would be over the moon to be honest
