Indeed - I spend most of yesterday on my back in the ****s powerwashing the Diffs ETC - Oh the absolute rapture of it!!! but I am counting my blessings for no panels needing replacing apart from the wing that was already done by a 17 yr old girl with no awareness and an inability to use her mirrors whilst I was overtaking her! DOH!
