As you can imagine, that wouldn't have lasted a second if I'd crashed.
When you think about it, that's a pretty daft design - two bits of metal, not even welded together properly (so a perfect water trap), sat right at a point in the wheelarch where it's going to get constantly sprayed with water, stones and grit. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
Might be worth checking yours....
