Sounds like it's time to attack the trailer ramps with Mr Angry Grinder!

At least you've got a matching set now...

Yeah - EVO8 was a right off. Front wheel clean off and engine was smoking when I went past.

Yep - forgot to raise trailer as it was fine whilst taking the car off (weighted).

Yep - but being on a real track is a whole new ball game!

You can go over the rumble strips and pretend your a race car driver.

Have you considered painting the side panels? At least you could then patch the holes and slap some filler over it.

Absolutely gutting though, I would be quite upset if I'd done that

I did that Pat after a trackday at Llandow. I'd lowered the rear legs of the trailer so we could use it as a viewing platform but forgot to raise them before loading the car. We took a chunk out of the bottom edge of the side panel but managed to repair it with some gel-coat. You'd never know it had been there.
