Could well work, can you get me a pic of the rub and where it has been filed, may possibly interested in the blue one instead if condition isn't quite what I want on the purple one as I thought about doing a combination of a bit of blue and purple for my girlfriends bike. My red cages are in mint condition with no rub or anything as it is never really used a great deal well they were last time I looked anyway will try and get pics next time I'm up at my mums. Here are couple of pics for now though but poor quality as lighting wasn't very good, the what look like markings in the cages by the way are just mud, I'll clean one up and get some propper pics. cheers.
