They look it and with the Matt finish getting the scuffs polished out with leave them with a shiny finish. If this bothers you could be worth keeping your eye out for an SQ turning up at a breakers...

Do you think the Alloygator would have prevented this... My wife is also driving our car

I am thinking of getting one

LOL, its you that you should be worried about!!!

So I'm basically going to my grave early with a heart attack because of the damage that will be coming .... LOL

I forgot to mention I was in the car when she did it, I was letting her get used to the car..... I never want to hear that CRUNCH again on those alloys!

If anyone knows any good repair shops in north London/Hertfordshire area let me know, will be there a lot in coming months I feel...

How much does a repair job usually cost for those of you with experience? £150 - £200?

You can get a single new wheel here... but I don't fancy the price much. I imagine if an ebay seller is charging that, Audi will be more?

Not sure how they repair this? I remember people having real issues on the VW Golf forums, as the GTI Monza wheels were the same diamond cut edges with a polished face.

A skilled repairer can sort even diamond cut although I have read they can only do it once, not sure if that is true or not.

They are expensive to have repaired professionally.

I did a DIY repair to a kerbed diamond cut alloy and it is hardly visible ............ even when I know where it has been repaired.

I feel your pain. Someone crashed into mine at 6 days old!

Would never use a main dealer for bodywork, would find a local independant who was recommended.
