Re: What is the appropriate cost for this?

I inflicted a comparable degree of damage to my front passenger wheel. The most favourable quote I received was from Revive, amounting to £102 including VAT. They approach you.

There are three sizes, but only two wheelbases: the 'extra long' (now designated L3) features a lengthy wheelbase, while both the 'long' (L2) and 'compact' (L1) share the same wheelbase.
