Hi all

Rather irritatingly, I caught the corner of a kerb as I breezed into my driveway yesterday and I now have a small but annoying scuff on the edge of one of my rear wheels. I understand that turbo wheels are not easy to repair due to their polished surface. Can anyone advise? I'm in North London if anyone knows someone in the area who can help me.

Thanks

I was going to say Excel, as they are the only ones I've known to do the diamond cut wheel
 
Another vote for Chris of Exel Wheels. I had all my wheels refurbished by him recently and by coincidence the loan wheels he put on were diamond cut turbo wheels. He provides a superb service, is a Porsche enthusiast and I would not go anywhere else, and you stay mobile.
 
I had a 'cosmetic repair' carried out on a diamond cut wheel just before I sold them. The company came very highly recommended not the one mentioned here) but the job wasn't great. They said it was because of the way the wheel was designed. Charged me less than quoted £50 but was quite noticeable.
 

Lepson's are well regarded for Diamond cut refurbs, my girlies Mk5 GTI had them done as everyone else said they couldn't do the procedure properly or wouldn't guarantee the repair.

Chris (Excel) uses Lepsons for actual refurb work.
