Screenshot of a Screenshot cut and Screenshot

I have a chipped door lever and its a lease car going back in 2 weeks. I've tried several places and they all said it can only be done by replacing the whole door card.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to do a temp repair or even wrap the handle.

Any advice welcome

Have you still got the bit that's chipped off?

Bit of superglue?

Hang on…
Are you telling me you’re allowed to drive without drinking?!
I thought they’d set limits over which you had to be to drive? ****ing misleading adverts!

Joking aside when drink driving started to be frowned upon (rightly so) I remember thinking I was being really sensible because I bought a pint in Wheatsheaf and as I was driving a few of us, instead of necking it and getting another one in Beech Tree when we got there I drove there while holding my half drunk pint. One pint instead of two…I was practically a saint!

That’s what kerbs are for.
I hate driving and Mrs Tash is a far better driver than me
I just nod off and get home by using the kerbs like bowling alley bumper lanes!

I’m convinced my missus thinks the bushes in the drive are for her bounce down to get to the garage, she’s managed to wear grooves in the bumper and wing mirrors.

Despite me saying she’s a better driver than me (and she is…she parks in spots I wouldn’t even bother trying) she also completely wiped out one of the columns coming into the drive!

Anyone have recommendations for alloy repairs

Just after cheap and cheerful (actually I’d be happy with cheap and miserable tbf!)

Getting ready to give car back to lease company so just need a bit doing on one wheel that will pass muster for the 5 minutes they’re checking it!
