[/IMG]Tut tut, Fox hunting is banned in the UK mate. You should know better.
Seriously though, that just looks like the clear coat has been cracked? You can probably have it wet sanded and polished. Where are you located? I know a guy in Milton Keynes who is very good with this type of stuff, he's also an authorized BMW collision repairer so top quality.

gutted about that mate but its not all lost, have seen carbon that looks worse that has been repaired to be like new my local bodyshop that do all my work can do it - wet sand and polish as stated.
Most "detailers" that are as good as they claim to be should be able to do it as well, depending on the clearcoat damage depth it could need an extra layer of that but will fix up I'm sure
