Re: Repaired alloy - lacquer chipped off, new or existing repair

Thanks all for the replies on this (I tried to reply when someone asked a question / made a specific comment so apologies if I didn't reply to you !).

Re: Repaired alloy - lacquer chipped off, new or existing repair

Lesson to be learned for all of us, photograph the whole wheel so the tyre valve is visible as well as the damaged area. You then have a record. Also on my SD I had to have a tyre repaired following a puncture and after watching how the Kwik Fit not so better fitter was as rough as the Badgers ….. ...

Looking for some advice / critique. We had front driver alloy (20-inch RS Spyder) on our 2018 Macan S repaired ca. April last year (under Car Care Plan alloy insurance). The same alloy now has a chip in the lacquer. I sent photos to CCP as the area looked very similar to where the original damage w...
