The fit is bang on with plenty of room for adjustments and with it being in 3 parts really helps. The finish is superb and there's not much difference in the engine note. I'm very happy with it and would recommend it to everyone. The company are very quick at getting it made up and sent out. It took 2 weeks to be made up and delivered from time of order

Gave it a thorough clean, clay, polish and wax after it served me well through all the rain we have had this week! Peugeot now fixed though :)

Re built my existing brake callipers with a new seal kit
It's amazing how well the brakes work now
Really pleased with the results
And the seal kit was only £13 from eBay
Cheers martin

Need to update your signature Ben!
Mine hasn't been out for a while so I went to start it up to go for a spin. Wasn't having any of it though. Tried again before lunch and she fired straight up, went to go out after lunch and nothing! Gotta love old motors :mr green:

Just buy some very dark glasses, if you can't see it it can't worry you. Much.

Just like the ones you were wearing when you agreed to take the Tc Ben :-D.Bright sunshine intermingled with a bit of rain helped as well :thumbup:
