Hi all,

It was dark and windy last nite, couldn't see because of a blurry plastic rear screen and dodgy side mirror. Next thing I know... *SCREEECHHHH*. Made a 5cm scratch on my rear rim lip :(

Anyone know the best way to fix the problem? What materials do I need? Your help would be much appreciated.

when i scratched my ray's on my ae86 i just got the metal file out, and smoothed out the scratch... came out fine...

i just had a 17 inch wheel relipped (slightly bent) and the face smoothed and repainted for 150. they did a great job. Another joint across the rd only charge 120 but i didnt know!!! DOH......
