Hints on smart ways to cover ali bodywork hole

Small cockup during bodywork construction meant I never covered the small area of bodywork under the rear suspension upper mount visible between the rear wing and the roll bar mount:

I wacked a bit of black fabric tape over it for SVA but want something smarter there now.

Rear Wing bodywork1

Rear Wing bodywork2

At the moment I'm thinking just an appropriately shaped piece of ali riveted in place with counter-sunk rivets. But if anyone's got any better looking ideas then fire away!

Cheers,

"Donut!!!"

Must be an old pic! Doubt he'd fit in a 7 now!

I was about to mount them higher, and it would help with tyre/wing clearance, but I think I need that space to poppers for the hood don't I?
