Pristine Wheel Alloy Refurbishers: Newport Road Woburn Sands 01908 282628.

2-3 days aprrox £64.00 for resurfacing, couldn't guarantee an exact colour match (didn't realise there were so many shades of silver), will be noticeable at a second glance, but often travelling to fast for that, or wheels just too plain dirty!

May try a few others in area first, will post outcome when done.

Did contact the manufacturers, although they weren't able to help, did give me the number of Rochford Tyres: 01702 545689
Unit 1 Swaines Industrial Estate, Rochford, Essex, SS4 1RG
About £54.00 all in, were much more optimistic about match!

Those prices sound about right - Alloy reconditioning is quite common these days.

Even my local Mazda Dealer advertises about £50 a wheel. Im only running on standard alloys so not worth me doing it - but im sure the others will be glad to hear any feedback you may have.

Hope they do a good job.
