Thanks. I'll be going to have it "fixed" by a workshop. They said it was small enough to fix it. It will still be visible though.

About the fog light covers, I'm almost done. The paint process is going very slowly as I had to leave the lacquer layer to harden for a couple of days before I could apply the silver layer.
Pre-silver: (black + two layers of lacquer)

Silver applied:

There were some masking issues:

But that has been removed with a little bit of thinner. That's why the lacquer layer needed to be hardened out completely.

I've already applied the final layers of lacquer, and I'm now waiting for them to harden before polishing them and applying the stickers.
