Default Muck Up!

ARGGHHHHGHHHHHHHH

I've just done a right stupid thing. I'm fitting the rear Fog lamp in the aluminium tub that took 2 evenings to make and another to fit. So its 2 small holes for bolts and a large hole for the body of the lamp. I carefully marked it all out, double checked, braced the thin metal with timber to stop deforming.......

Then I only drilled the 44mm hole drill on one of the 4mm bolt holes. Fu@k. How on earth do I fix that cock up?

So either I have wonky lights or as the car is getting sprayed when its done, I'm thinking of bonding an aluminium piece over the mess and filling / sanding it smooth. Do you think that would be ok?

I'll take a photo tomoz so you can all laugh at me
