As far as quality goes Rare Spares has sold quite a lot and the feedback has been all good.

What's typical is the way people speared rumours on what they have heard somewhere not actual facts. We have sold over 20 pair with no complaints and I have personally fitted a right hand fender which fitted as well as a genuine one Edited by user Thursday, May 26, 2011 11:31:31 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I was just at our other wharehouse and took a few photos for Les, i beleive them to be HK style from what i understand? i understand the drain hole being round or slotted (d shape), but im not sure what you mean by the flutes opening up to the underbonnet? the inner gaurd would block this wouldnt it?
