Chipped fibreglass

On a scale of 1 to a million, how p1ssed off do you think I am that I've cracked my fibreglass on the sill!!

I stupidly stood on what looks to have been a thin bit of fibreglass and cracked a chunk off on the corner. Will this be a bitch to repair? It will be under the ali sill anyway but I'm still cheesed off!

Dont worry about it, It adds character and shows that its a practical used car rather than a trailer showpiece.

Let the above photo be a lesson to you all kiddie-winkles...

Oulton Park Armco is stronger than fibreglass, and never (EVER) go out for that "one last lap"...
