they only take a few minutes to fit.
Watched one on ebay last week and was shocked that some numpty paid £150.00 for it plus £12.50 postage. Bet the seller couldn't believe his luck.
I do fancy one though.....................might look at a group buy!

Yes i know... Its emm, just looks good,,, but in theory it protects the diff on a rally car from being damaged by rocks etc...

Ah i see it makes sense now that you've said it's fitted to a rally car, For a minute i thought that you'd spent £140 on a diff guard for a road car.

seems a few people interested in a group buy so I'm going to ring round a few places and see what prices I can get.

Left a few messages for call backs so lets see how we get on.

Will start a thread in the GB section....................
