Oh I know, it's the risk you take. it just puts a crimp on your day when the worst happens. I would of been happier if I had had them on for a few months but last week
Still on the upside, no other damage. Just ordered a replacement at £80 as they will supply just one side I need. 6 Bolts and it will be sorted again.

if they're the standard black ones u can sand it down with a bit of wet and dry and get some black spray (Hammerite smooth spray). done it to mine you never even notice till u run your hand across it.
Got to be worth a try if it saves you £80!!

Thanks for your advice and help stownrow but the one on ebay is very different from the ones I have, they had to be a bit wider so the the other half who is a bit stumpy can climb up on them to get in without slipping.
The one that is damaged is completely knackered and beyond repair.
Thanks again stownrow.
