Thanks again for the reply Patrick - the view I need is indeed #3 above and I can see the tell tale mark in your paintwork left by the US bumper... but I can't see where the stone chip goes from those marks on the side of the panel towards the rear wheel arch. That's the bit I've removed and can no longer find.
