Pulling in to my horribly tight drive and heard this happen.

*naughty words that should be used on a family friendly forum*

It always happens at some point haha, clipped mine when I first got the car :/

I feel your pain! I felt so down when I clipped my wheel on a kerb. Was only 4 days after I got it too haha! Thankfully I have alloy/tyre insurance.

Having been there myself I feel your pain, please do however keep language to a PG ;)

Did this the other day :( was fuming with myself, took a mm chunk off my tyre too.

Gutting but it wouldn't cost loads to get it fixed

Worst feeling...... even when its only small you cant help but keep seeing it

Ouch

Before switching to the Fiesta I had a BMW for 8 years with 17" wheels, after years of careful parking and avoiding pot holes i managed to curb the front and rear alloy's at the same time.

To say I was gutted is putting it mildly, it did take me 7 years to curb an alloy, so I had a lucky run.

Apologies for the language. Feeling were raw.

You guys make me feel better. Apparently a friend has a friend that can fix it up.

To be fair at first I thought it was paintwork... If it was my language might have been even more colourful

This happened to me a while ago. Really annoyed with myself but a week or 2 later I forgot about it and now I barely notice it. You can get through this!

What you need is a nice set of winter tyres on steel wheels that you can bounce off kerbs (in the winter when they are on, at least)

Ah both of my front's are damaged, it's just a cost of driving in my eyes, which is why alloys are never a big thing for me. I'll just fix them up myself

when it comes to resale.

Only thing worse than dinging your alloys is someone else dinging your alloy.

Found a small ding on my back alloy, don't have the slightest clue how it was done.
