I think that is a bit of paint from the shell where its rubbed off on top of the rounded edge of the bulkhead when squeezing it on and off as the screw is still tight in there if you can see that from the pic.
Don't get me wrong I think the car is pretty strong all over and I am very happy with it, it handles really well and I can't find anything else at the moment that makes me think that it needs beefing up.
I'm by no means the best driver out there, quite the opposite really so when I get a car I always look at what parts I am likely to break and try to carry a spare (which at the moment is difficult
), I'd already spotted the bulkhead as a possible contender to be 'balderized' so had the part spare thankfully so this altercation was not the end of the world.
As these cars become more widespread (I wonder how many have Schumacher shipped so far?), I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of this....
Chatts, I'd be interested in see a pic of your repair?
Cheers for your comments anyway lads.
