I'll check them out - so does such a repair leave any evidence or is it pretty clean?

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.

Hi
One of my Cup alloys has been badly scratched around the rim (not by me - by my girlfriend, who I was obviously very pleased with). Does anyone have any experience of having their alloys polished - is this worthwhile or should I just cough up £480 odd for a new wheel?
Thanks for any pointers.

Hi Raman
Most kerbing scratches can be easily repaired. (Should be circa £40) In the past I have used these guys:-

Hi Vic,
Thanks for the speedy response and recommendation. I'll check them out - so does such a repair leave any evidence or is it pretty clean?
Thanks again.
(being new to this site I guess I should have added the colour of mine too, which is met. black)

and they're mobile too...excellent.
Can I ask another question pls - thinking of trading up from 964 (first Porsche) to 993. Question is - 993 or 996 as we're talking similiar money and the 996 is a more "modern" car? (think I know the answer...)
cheers

You need to drive them both, but I suspect if you like your 964 you'll prefer a 993 to a 996 - not that I'm biased.

Raman,
If your in the midlands area try A1 wheels in Wolverhampton, had them fix up an old set of alloys for me and they did a superb job.

Think I'm already convinced, thanks, that wonderful aircooled sound.
How about Tiptronic? I'm getting a bit sick of heavy clutch in London traffic and was considering a 993 Tip - is it a "semi-automatic" like the old Beetles?
Migration info. Legacy thread was 7380
I got a Tip as I used to sit on the lovely M25 on my commute to work and it was great! I've just got another car as my daily runner, and to be honest I would now perfer a manual as the 993 is just a weekend car.

Sorry, should have answered the question.......It's an auto box with the ability to swap to manual via small up and down switches on the steering wheel.
The 993 tip is also only 4 speed.

Hi Raman
Its been up on previous threads, but here's my observation. I drive mine in TIP mode permanently unless I'm enjoying my timeshare on the M25. On the fortunately few occasions where I've got caught in traffic for any period of time, it does save the circulation problems in the old left foot. Nearly Mrs Hendo drives in permanent auto mode, more to do with ease of driving a 911 (new experience for her) than anything else. I still have fun with the TIP though and dont miss the manual box

Thanks James + Hendo for your advice. Guess it comes down to personal preference?
Incidentally, planning to source 993 Tip Cab (C2/C4) in Deutschland - have checked out a couple of websites (equivalent of Autotrader etc) - amazing choice and at pretty unbeatable price. Obviously some hassle involved but I found approx 22 cars with my desired spec - sure beats messing around with Cridfords et al.
