Default The worst sound in the world......

has to be the sound of ure alloy crunching on a nice sharp flint kirb!! I CANNOT believe wot i done the other night, toodled down my road over the humps at 2mph like i always, just went to pull over at the kirb outside my house b4 puttin the car in the drive and PROPER road up the kirb with my drivers side front wheel!! I just couldn't get out the car for a while cause i didn't wanna see the damage, over 2years i've had my wheels and never a single touch and now this! The worst thing is i was on my own in the car with no distractions!! I wanted to ask, has anyone on here had a kirb mark repaired before, if so which companys are good and what kind of cost is it!?
