Amended version, this is probably as good as it gets, other than playing with the textures/rendering. Can't find any dried up Lidls scanky black gloss paint finish for now.. :lol: :lol:

Thrown it together out of curiosity, getting there, though still needs a fair bit of work along with the rotor and a resemblance of a brake calliper. Not sure what the white square mark is, probably a constraint that I didn't hide.

The "mark" was probably a semen stain, as you seem to be pre occupied making digital pics, when you should be out in the cold garage putting your car back together :twisted:
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

It's a plane - as in X, Y, Z planes not as in "Is it a bird, is it a plane....?)

After lots of Agro with the accident management company then to various other quango's and a bit of customer I don't care, I took the daily driver into a Merc approved repairers, needs a new bumper and possible damage underneath, because it was hit quite high up.

Unbelievably an independent assessor needs to see the car as well, fook knows why.. this is turning into a right old mission, hey ho.

Here's one to pull your pud over Steve(m).

The rear of the disc assembly and hub, more detail on the back with the lugs and vanes. A right royal PITA to do, with a very steep learning curve. Some little tweaks needed, such as a very small chamfer on the disc edges and a slight adjustment to the mounting lug profile, though overall I'm pleased with this effort, even if I say so myself.
