Scuffed black alloys
Bah - car is a month and half old and already I’ve scuffed an alloy! Hospital car park today.
Glad I took out a combined wheels, tyres and smart repairs policy from total loss gap. I might save it up until I’ve scuffed another one before I get them fixed. |

Ha, month and a half? I scuffed one of mine on the very first day.
I think it's the low profile of the tyres makes it very easy to do. And the tyres don't stick out proud of the wheel. I fixed mine myself with a bit of rubbing down but I've been really wary of going close to curbs since then. |

May as well get it out of the way early as they are going to get scuffed with all the bomb craters we have to drive through. I haven’t kerbed mine yet but there are a few scuffs from encounters with potholes.
Buy some clear lacquer to help prevent white worm would be my advice |

Get it sorted ASAP, think they only allow 30 days from the scuff happening to being booked/accepted for repair. Stops historic/old scuffs being claimed for before policy was active

I've had 6 years of new bmw cars, and have not kerbed once. Taxi to the curb parking, extra vigilance at all times and not letting the wife drive it are my solutions.
