Ouch!
What is that - it looks like the paint has been stripped away from the wing? How'd it happen?
Also, is that the standard pre-95 wing? Same as mine, but I didn't think it was the standard one, and I haven't seen many around.
If that is paint damage to the wing, let me know what sort of quotes you get for it, I need a few touch-ups on my car (same colour too
)

I'm not too good with car terminology, but it's not the paint - i peeled a small part off after taking the photos and it was like a flakey clear film.

Nasty!
I had to drive through the freaken eye of the cyclone Friday night... I assure you the F3 in a storm like that with front tyres as bad a condition as mine = white knuckled (and very slow!) drive.
