Bump Looking at one of these for my Lotus Elise (possibly the Falcon attached to the rear screen) with a Flight deck on the rear. Is chainreaction the cheapest place to get it or is it worth trying to import from the US?

I'm surprised ChainReaction are selling these, I was told by Seasucker, that they hadn't been crashed tested for the EU market and had no intention of doing so. I imported a few through a friend, so didn't get hammered on duty.

I would be cautious attaching this to GRP. I can imagine flex coming from the suction in cups and also leverage from the device itself, causing the gel coat to crack causing lots of small hairlines in the paint.

Which is why I'm proposing to get the one that attaches to the rear screen instead
