I did this too. If you are feeling up to it, lots of threads here on how to repair it yourself. Some sand paper at multiple grits, then the FoMoCo gray touch up paint and about 1-2 hours of your time. Did mine and no one can tell without getting within inches of it. Even I have a hard time seeing it sometimes. My total cost was 25 USD

Your rim looks pretty dickered mate. I’m sure there are some automobile repair shops that would fancy giving you a good rim job for a fiver.

I have scraped my rims up quite thoroughly. Instead of repairing them I plan to install plastic guards to cover up the damage and act as protection for my next kerb encounter.

I'd ask in the UK forum.

This doesn't help your current situation, but for the future... I have wheel bands that totally saved me when I scraped against a curb a few months ago. Might be worth it for you after you get yours fixed.
