The alloy is diamond cut as std yeah>??
If so you will struggle to get a mobile repair carried out... Very few people will do that mobile mate..
Had it been a colour finish wouldve been possible...
My recommendation (as a mobile alloy repairer) would be to get Lepsoms to do it, maybe get both alloys on that side done if they are uncertain about finish etc, but it should be ok just doing the one (I would only do the one if it was my car)
cost will be circa 50quid

A mobile repairer yes, Lepsons probably a little less likely, the reason is, a mobile repairer can keep the colour local to the damage only and on a wheel like that, it will be dead easy (can only tell from sig pic), then clearcoat the whole alloy.
Lepsons on the other hand will strip and recolour the whole wheel so will ALL be fresh colour.. get both alloys on one side done if you are worried, or take two then tell them they have to match and leave the decision to them
BUT Lepsoms Clearcoat will be 2pack (probably) which will be more durable than most (probably all) mobile repairers (EU legislation health and saftey etc etc )
