Know what you mean. I've been looking too cause one of mine has a little crack. No one seems to have had any for months.

Very easy to make if you have a mass market but not viable with a few hundred cars about.
A sheet of 8ft x 4ft x 4mm Lexan will cost £30 and will make about 20 pairs but they still have to have the edges sprays black with foam backing, holes to be drilled and fixings with caps and also the mould to be made with a press and to sell them at £70 a pair not realy worth it.

Hi Keith,

I did reply to both of your emails the same day they arrived - it would have come from our promax motorsport address, so maybe check your spam filter?

As others have said they are awaiting remanufacture, and we stocked the WP ones. Latest update for new stock was January, but we will see.
