Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My big bro brought round his newly purchased mint C70 this morning. Like a good big bro he let me have ago in it - everything was fine until I curbbed it and put a huge scrape on his rim!

I've promised to get him a new one. So heres the question - has anyone got one for sale or any ideas where I could get one from?

Cheers

I dont know if I should laugh or cry for you about this. Its always been a problem with big wheels that if you touch a curb you damage it.
Your cheapest option would be to get it refurbished if the damage isnt too bad. If I was your brother I'd want it looking like new which means the colour match would have to be spot on. You could maybe get some paint from Volvo or take the wheel to a paint refinishers to get a perfect match. Then have the scratch filled and repainted.
Is the spare 'full' size? If so the repaired wheel could maybe go to spare and offer him a few quid also.
There are several Volvo scrap yards about which you could search for on this site and maybe using a websearch engine. But you maybe lucky to get a perfect wheel and they may only sell a full set.
The cost of a new wheel from a dealer will be £400+ . I'm sure that is the sort of price I have read before anyway but you could call to find out.
Also put an add in the wanted section on this site and www.adtrader.co.uk.
Good luck man you'll need it!
