women and wheels

[Jamie&Rachel]

I have let my partner loose with my 1 month old astra cc, the problem is she
doesn't take care of it and she has scuffed 3 of the wheels (18" with 35
tyres is probably the reason) and some how scraped the wheels wall on near
side front, and more recently lost the petrol screw cap at the filling
station.

1. Does any body know what approx price im looking at for the repair of the
wheels (the tyres would probably need taking off due to them just
overlapping the lip of the wheel)

2. Does a wheel repair do a good job, i.e will they be back to as good as
new?

3. Petrol cap? will vauxhall have my pants down and rob me for a
replacement? if so whats alternative? will i get away without one? theres a
flap on the central locking system over the tank anyway

I know some of you will say see your dealer. i will.....just wanted to hear
your thoughts on my little niggles as my wife puts it; women just dont
understand!

Usually. As for price, you'll need to shop around. Try local tyre and
wheel specialists.

I doubt it. It's only a petrol cap.

I second that and yes you do need a cap as most importantly when you wife
clips a kerb and rolls the car during "a little scrape" you don't want the
bitch barbecued in 10 gallons of blazing fuel (or do you ).
