MG MGF Technical - Hello, can anyone help me please?

Hi, I recently nudged into another car that was parked too close to me and damaged the bottom bumper on the front of my Trophy. I thought it would be ok as it was only cosmetic damage on the other car, but on my way to the tanning shop a large piece of my bumper got stuck under the car and burst a tyre. It drove ok with the spare wheel on for a while but now I think I should get it repaired and have a proper size wheel on the front. Can anybody tell me where I could take it to in the Linton (Maidstone) area.

Thank you

A radioactive wind up?

Patrick, I get the same joke all the time - and it’s not funny any more!

If serious - try www.yell.com and search tyre repairers near Maidstone.

Thank you John
Do you think they will visit?

Only if they wear lead suits.

Hehehe.

Wish I'd came here first before responding on the General Board.

Never known plastic to puncture a tyre. It's always been nails or screws with me. If the tread on the tyre was low anyway, replace 'em. At the very least do both wheels on the same axle. Pref do all 4.

Can recommend Bridgestone RE720's. Get 'em from www.mytyres.net and do a search on their web-site for a local tyre fitting firm.

Thank you for all your help. I have just arranged for a nice chap to do the job tomorrow afternoon. He said the tyres I have got are no good and that he will provide me with some decent rubber! He also said he will look at my skirt for me and see if it can be repaired or whether I will need a new nose. I will be careful and make sure that he gives me a price before seeing to me.

Oh and by the way Guy, I asked him about lead suits and he said someone was just winding me up. So, caught you out there.
