Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ideally a mobile/drop off service
It will be for a single wheel (1cmx 7cm type marking near tyre wall). The rest of the wheel and the other 3 are in mint condition. It is for a 997 gen 2 - classic alloys
I assume a full refurb of the wheel is better then a spot touch up ?
Anyone have recommendations of services in the London/Essex area?
Contact Chris at Exel Wheels.
Well known in the world of Pork for doing the best wheel refurbs.
Part of his service is to leave you with loan wheels so you can still use your car.
Not affiliated in any way but one of many happy customers of his.
Or over the Dartford crossing to Lepsons in Gillingham. Most of the local Porsche, BMW and Mercedes garages seem to use them. I’ve been happy with two full sets done there

thanks guys. aware of chris but because of the 1 wheel refurb only and exact location its paying a bit of a premium and he warned of the 1 not looking like the other 3.
any other suggestions?

I don’t think any wheel refurb company can guarantee a colour match on one wheel so the OP may have to get both done on the one side to achieve the same appearance.

+1 for Lepsons. Just had set of 33 year old wheels refurbished. Stunning job.
