Driving to work this morning hit a pothole and this happened
...
... although strangely enough the car still drives fine it doesn't pull and the wheel feels just a tiny bit of balance, plus there seems to be no damage to the tyre either
... but the wheel is definitely screwed as well as the big lump you can see there is also a great big split in it
... I've contacted EB Spares and they can do me another one for £120+vat+del (which I bet is cheaper than trying to get it fixed) ... trouble is they can't get it to me for 2 weeks (as it is currently in Italy) ...
I don't really want to be driving round on a space saver for 2 weeks, so was wondering if
a) the 147 (facelift) has a space saver or a full size spare wheel (as a family member has this car and I bet she would lend it too me)
b) anyone has a spare wheel they wouldn't mind lending me for a couple of weeks (I'll put it on the back and take very good care of it I promise)
