Another stainless waste bin bites the dust and going through 1mm cutting discs like there is no tomoz ....this is going to be an edge protector around the base sides of the car, held on with double sided tape.

Hi Ian...well first off it is the inside of the bin that shows, having had a liner in meant that surface was pristine, and the nice bend comes from the bender I made for forming tanks ....a little bit of cloth in between stops any scratches while bending.

Started fitting bottom edge protectors today and got a full ticket at the MOT station yesterday, straight through no issues, will soon be back on the market.
