I like it.

There was one like this in another thread that someone made themselves and it was getting massive positive feedback and quite a few requests for him to make more to sell!

I just don't see the point.
A bit like the whole vta debate.
The car already has one that you WILL NOT improve on.

Fair play to the guy that designed it. I wish I'd have thought of it first! Easy money!

There are lots of things people change on their cars that aren't necessarily "better". Some people will always like to customise/personalise their cars.

Tacky for me fella

Nice simple alloy one or your original sanded down and given a tickle of paint.

I'm gonna do that to mine and have bought some M5 threaded stainless steel bar to make it like new.

This is a similar one made by a member on here. I think it looks pretty good with the matching strut brace.

After a busy weekend in the garage I've come up with this











Hope you like.
