2010MY RRS HSE Alloys

Missus kerbed my beautiful alloy. Can anyone tell me if the spare is a full size same as on the rest if the car?

Also a can anyone recommend a very good refurbisher in the south between the M3, M4 & M25?

It's just the edge that needs doing. 2010MY Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Look under car valeters or car repairers in your local yellow pages or Thompsons directory. There are several mobile companies operating franchises around the UK as well. I had 4 wheels done last year and 2 of them redone this year by a company recommended by the local tyre fitting outfit. They were done in 48 hours in the valeters premises and look like new. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I am firmly of the opinion that Land Rover has built "Kerb Magnets" into their alloys, I have never had a car that has suffered an attraction to kerbs much as my TDv8RRS, at least my TDV6 version had 18" wheels so had enough sidewall height to clear most kerbs. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Prefer a personal recommendation. Wanna get it done as I hate kerbed wheels. Never kerbed a wheel on any of my cars. My missus things I'm anal when it comes to parking mind you! 2010MY Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE
