it just slid then ploughed me in to the ditch which is actually a stream.

Wot a bummer,glad you are OK Scott,handy having spare panels in the correct colour :wink: only bit that may not fit properly is the wing,but that is only because of the amount of arch that had to be cut away for his big tyres :wink:
