Who is your lease with and who will be picking up/inspecting the car?
I handed one back last year (VWFS financed, British Car Auctions picked up and inspected) and all 4 wheels were scuffed. Total tally came up to £350 but I disputed it as fair wear, said they were within the tolerated amount and the charge was waived as a gesture of goodwill. YMMV of course.
From what I've picked up on the pistonheads lease thread, you're almost always better off leaving them as is and then disputing/haggling the charge down. Just make sure the car is clean, you're nice to the person picking it up and leave just enough fuel in the tank to allow them to get to the nearest forecourt.

Approaching the end of a vehicle lease and have a scuffed alloy wheel which will (quite rightly) be chargeable.
Based on size/finish looks like £80-100 for a mobile repair but am keen to avoid the faff of booking, trying to hold a parking space for their vehicle close enough to my house for their electric/power etc.
Anybody sent back a lease/PCP vehicle with wheel damage? Any recollection of your £££ penalty if so?
