That's what you call a nightmare!

It'll relieve you of £250 and throw in the hassle of getting it sorted. Gutting.
 
Piece of metal on the road which I didn't see until it was too late. A new wheel is £702 but I've come across a set removed from a new S1 at 500 miles, available to buy at £220 each. Lucky! And a new Contisport 5 is £130. Aerosol 'spare wheel' won't look at this so waiting for recovery.
 
Have you guys noticed that the jack provided with the new car is useless since we don't get a spare tyre? Weight savings!
 
You might be able to get it referbed, I had mine done by an Audi body shop when I nicked it on a curb in a similar spot to yours (a few days before Xmas!!), looks spot on. Can't even tell! £102 inc VAT.
 
Ouchie!!!! good job it didn't ping up into the bodywork, could have been a lot worse.
