At least with the scuttle you could remove it, sand the paint off then respray it matt or satin black easily enough.

Yea, I had thought of doing that. But replacement probably easier, and better in long run.

I might just take you up on that bud, as I think it would be a little difficult to post.

Yeah I wouldn't trust sending it in the mail.
My sister lives in Saltash, I'll find out when my folks are next up visiting her, maybe they can take it with them and you can collect it there from her..

..or of course you're welcome to collect it in person if you're ever down here mate.
