Mine has broken/been hit a few times, especially getting onto ferries etc, so I now make my own out of black perspex.
Looks good and costs pennies compared to the carbon one.

Lakelord - as a point of interest the ones on your car may well be the only set sold by the factory. They were made by a place that did composites for McLaren. I ordered them after I saw them on Lee's race car but have a feeling the profit margin wasn't there on them as the guy I spoke to said in the end they cost more to make than Noble had agreed to sell to me for.

I am having a three piece one made at the moment in carbon. This will mean if I ding it (inevitable) that the bit I have damaged just gets replaced.

I will post piccies when it arrives.

I got one carbon splitter left, was going to be putting it on EBAY shortly

I wasn't planning on making any more as I think Richards three piece would work better

E mail me if you are interested

here are the pics

I think it looks quite nice !

Andy - I think if you could get some flexible perspex type stuff in black you could have a business !

is there a trick to cuting the perspex and making the cut look good ?

I find that I replace these once a year, usually after a trip to France. The ferry can be unforgiving.
They are easy to cut out, but I would suggest using macralon rather than perspex. It is easier to work and has a bit of flex.
Use a jigsaw, then various files and finish with a bit of wet n dry on the edge.
Takes me about an hour to do both. I have a card pattern, so the hard work is done really.

You should be able to get some material from wicks or B&Q etc.
