Keep it mint alex, I want be able to see it in it's prime on the 31st! Thought you were going to back out when you mentioned that small stone chip and the splitter damage!
Lol, I wonder if you deserve this yet...

Haha pimp cane
UPDATE:
Well the splitter is all resprayed, and looks as good as can be with the amount of damage i created! So I'm please about that.
In other news, the ABS sensor - well the sensor itself was fine....the issue was the fact that the hook that holds the cable at the bottom of the suspension strut had disappeared.
This released the cable, so it curved into the path of the tyre...as this had happened, the tyre had burned through the ABS cable - completely!
Seeing as a new one is like 40 quid, and requires a pin stamper to remove, I salvaged a spare one i had lying around, and have replaced the damaged cable and the clip.
So it seems that when something goes wrong...its never what you think it is!
And now my alternator is making a hissing sound. woo bloody hoo!
