Default Went for a spin to take my mind off a girl...

... and I've managed to rip, yes RIP, the rear near-side alloy wheel and also, somehow, rip off a section of paint about an inch square just below the stone chip guard!

I can get a new wheel without too much trouble, but I'm right in saying the rear panel is the most difficult/expensive to repair, as it goes all round the car!?

Guess I succeeded in taking my mind off the girl then?
