Must be loads of diablo bonnets around, probably easiest to swap it for a better one.

Should have said you were flying from bristol, I could have dropped you off in your car and left it at mine, then picked you up again, i live 10mins from the airport lol

You might get away with sanding back the laquer then re lacquering it. Might not be perfect after but will look better!

You will end up with a line around the area where you have flatted back but once you build up a few layers, it will disappear then leave to dry for a few days and flat back and polish.

You'll have a mare lacquering like that. When you flat it back after drying it will just flake at the corners. You would do better re-lacquering the whole panel unfortunately
