You might be able to rescue the one you have tried to sand.

How bad is it?

@Shiny, it is pretty much fudged up. I cant post a picture tomorrow. I have rang ever scrap yard round here, dont fancy paying £100 for one on Ebay, but I dont think this can be rescued. :cry: :cry:

Where abouts do you live?

A local Luder might be able to sand out the damage, wet sand and then polish then up with a DA.

@Shiny, I live in Camberley. Not seen anyone on here that lives close to here, so not sure about that. It would sure save me a bob or two.
