Britain’s bad roads have struck again, this time on a Range Rover. This car sustained kerb damage to its wheels that not only caused unsightly marks, but also put them at risk from corrosion and further damage.
This is the kind of thing we deal with every day at Diamond Alloys, and our experts could probably repair kerb damage in their sleep! In all seriousness, however, just because it is a common process does not mean that we take a laid-back approach. Instead, we scrutinise and test at every step of the process to ensure that the repair and new finish meets our strict quality standards.
On these wheels we used our diamond cutting technique, pictured above a set of Range Rover wheels after painting and before the cut is applied, and below another set after the cut have been applied. This starts with a thorough clean of the alloys, using a specialist aqua jet machine. This ensures all dirt, even the hard-to-remove brake dust, is removed from the alloys. After this, our experts examine the wheel to determine exactly what repair processes are needed, before powder coating the alloy in preparation for the cutting.
Diamond cutting uses a high-strength precision tool that allows us to make smaller and more frequent cuts than any other method – ensuring the cleanest repair and the highest quality finish. After the wheel is repaired, we coat it with a scratch proof lacquer and bake it in our alloy oven.
Following this all that’s needed is one final quality inspection before the wheels are refitted and the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure and re-balanced. We hope these pictures of the finished wheels will reassure you that, should Britain’s bad roads strike, there is a quick and cost-effective solution at hand!
