I replaced my alloys recently but only gone and kerbed one today in a multi storey

As I went down the exit ramp my view was obscured by the bonnet but they had narrowed the ramp - crunch

Kerbed last set a week after I got my RRS and lesson learned until today  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Done mine a couple of times & you never forget that sound.....grinding metal on concrete, makes you cringe doesnt it

I stopped worrying about kerbing of alloys years ago. It removes one of the many stresses from life.

I'm more concerned about possible damage to the tyre itself as most kerbing just aesthetic in nature. Damaging a tyre is potentially damaging to life too... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Ditty, you know the minute you refurbish a wheel or touch up a bumper you're going to scrape it somewhere
