Last Sunday on the way to a meet at Edenbridge, I had a Incident with a car on my side of the road on a blind bend, which ended with Me sliding out of control And getting wedged into a hedge
Not much Damage really. Side mirror and rear arch, but as my car is painted in metal flake it’s not going to be a easy repaint. Have got different ideas, which would save me from paint match.

Inside arch a couple of layers mainly to hold together.
So I can grind the crazy cracking down, which is covering the arch up to tape line.
