Totally stuck on the last 6!!! With explanations if possible please.....
A) Figure out old East/West divide? (6) S*S***. Is it Sussex or sussed? I don't understand the "old" part of clue.
B) Material harshly reviewed - director's cut (5) P*N**. Is it panne? Does panned mean harshly reviewed?
C) It's a farce showing former mannequin without either top or bottom (5) E****. Can only think of Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton and then my mind goes blank (a common occurrence)
D) Corrosive fluid emanating from rear of vehicle causing anger (4)****
E) Strip outside as an illustration - that's the stuff (6) *A****
F) Rolled joint of meat, cut and served in top-drawer sauce (5) A****.
Is it aioli? If so, why?
With explanations please.

Many thanks Trevor, Mamya, Eirlys and Zozozo. Still have D and E to do. D is now *I**. E is now *A*E**.

AIOLI is correct (see above)

This means that the second letter of D (the corrosive fluid one ) is I - I have the solution as BILE - rear of (mo)BILE

It is not very convincing to me so I could be wrong - but I am sure that the second letter is I
