Default Big mistake :(

Had a major cock up today...

I'd had the nose cone off to make the grill, and put it back on yesterday.

Silly me forgot to tighten it back up, and started mapping my engine (driving with bonnet off). It fell off, onto gravel and i drove straight into it

Not a happy bunny. I've managed to polish it out a bit, so now it just looks like a few stone chips. Luckily the worst part of the damage is towards the bottom, which doesn't stand out as much as if it was the top.
