Quite a few years ago I bought, from our local prosche garage, lots of new standard exhausts (cos every wanted more noisy exhausts, but they were dealer fitted back then) & rims with the laquer peeling, the scrap man offered them £500 for the lot as scrap valve, when it was only £7/ton for mixed, I gave a bit more & slowly sold them on ebay over a couple of years for shed lots more
andy you know me i am like a sniffer dog,
but impossible to get stuff from bentley it is govorned very strict the amount of scrap is disgusting it gets sent to scrap and people over see it getting crushed,
think i have found a rim though down in london via the bay,

what a bitch indeed, holy smoke, defo worth a claim, have you reported it to the council?? got to be honest if you report potholes round here they normally get sorted pdq, probably realised they don’t need the claims, or dead bikers

Great news
You should of swung bye for a Cuppa
I think that's not a bad price, I think I paid around £500 or £600 for a new rim on my BMW. Bar stewards wouldn't repair under warranty, even though there was a reported problem. Hurts at 1st, then you soon get over it & move on

Dunc.......Report the Pothole to your local Police Road Traffic Office , along with the number of incidents that you know of, it'll get repaired PDQ .
last thing council want is having to deal with the Cops after a more serious incident (injury wise) has occurred where they have been previously notified, that's where the claims start escalating .
