It's alright - a wee bit of rust and a couple of small dings but its in considerably better nick than the one thats on the HGT just now.
Any ideas on how to remove black marker pen from the wing, without removing the paint?

Ermmm ... you going need to paint that anyway, so why are you worrying about the paint? You really need to sand it smooth it with body filler on any dents then just prime it.

Try a wee drop of neat windscreen wash or use vinegar
............... or just paint it the same colour as the rest of the car!!

Well, now that the plans have maybe changed again I might be able to do that! Maybe!
