Had the car a month and, thanks to a moment's inattentiveness, scuffed the nearside front Hoshi on a kerb this pm. Not too badly, but I know it's there....
Does anyone have any ideas of good places, preferably either in or somewhere near, Norfolk to have it returned to a pristine condition?

You think we have such things here in carrot land? People still stand and point when a plane flies over....

I had a similar incident to one of my wheels a while back, however when i got round to sorting it out, found that due to the colour of the Hoshi wheels it was extremely difficult to match. Chips Away here in glasgow, said they couldn't do it. I phoned Lexus and they gave me the number of a guy they use, he managed to do it, however it still wasn't perfect. I think its too hard to get it back to its original shine and colour.

Feel for you mate...perhaps you could leave it alone for the time being - just incase you suffer any further mishaps?
I know that when I have kerbed one wheel, I invariably have ended up doing another

No idea what colour a hoshi wheel is, but a BMW titan silver touch-up kit I bought from Halfords is a spot-on match for my SEL's 17s. A few coats made a kerb scuff look virtually un-noticeable, and protected it from the winter salt etc.

Dunno if these Hoshi's corrode, but I'd leave it until near the warranty expiry - if it starts to corrode anywhere Lexus will replace it - scuffed or not...so rest easy buddy...!

If there is nowhere near you, there are places you can send a wheel off to, though have to pay postage. Many tyre places will deal with these sorts of people if ya ask around. Can be up to £100 a wheel, but if it bothers you then sort it!
