Trying to find a Pub from the Brit Stop books, we put in the post code and set off. The Sat Nav has all vehicle dimensions, so when we went sailing past the sign for the pub, I thought that way must be too restrictive - Low bridge, too narrow or weight limit. So it finally turns me down the narrowest road I have been on to date with a weight limited bridge up ahead. 0.6 miles away is bridge, but Sat Nav says turn right in 0.4 miles, so I continue. Right turn isn't, it is in fact a 90 deg right corner, so bridge is still ahead. Cannot reverse now so thinks, no worries I'll chance it. No real dramas. Then road narrows and another 2 weight limit bridges no overly excited at the moment with the odd branch clattering down the side and then the band new mirror guards get functionally tested. At the point of no return I face the last 90 deg left turn over a bridge. On right is a stable with what can only be described as tree sized bushes growing up the side. Just make it round and forgot the ultimate sin - "Overhang swing out" then bang! Looses the rear corner and end plate off the canopy. Now - blame the driver who blames the navigator cos SHE left the Brit Stop book behind that read about this stopover, "do not use Sat Nav but take the first Brown Pub sign". Anyway, why is this thread in the Detailing section? Cos I need help with this...
I retreived the end cap and re screwed it back on, but I think I will have to replace it, but really need to polish out / fill in the deep scores that are on the end and also a lot of scuff marks on the rest of the canopy and mirror guards and the score marks along the window you can see below the canopy. Red scoring is from the brick building. I do not have any products or machines to assist me, so any recommendations of products and procedures would be gratefully received
