Ahhhh yes I see what you mean now. Yeah I agree, not the biggest problem.
Am I right in thinking the paint just stops just before the end so I could mark it out before spraying?

I read all the threads from here before she was purchased ..... and love that she has been on here all the time ....
I noticed the Bury plates when I collected her .... made me chuckle as I am 10 mins from there now so she has come full circle
