Indeed they are, my M400 UK spec 2006 came with both the drip tray and chip guards fitted as standard!! Mind you the chip guards didn't help when I trashed the front clam cry

FYI, a batch of these, along with front drip-trays, was imported by AlexS a couple of years ago. This probably explains how some (most) came to be fitted to UK based motors.

Out of interest, I prefer not to drill holes in my bodywork and would suggest the use of sealer, that is adequate, to fix these on.

Sikoflex will be more than adequate. Just avoid bathroom sealant as it contains ammonia.

Think I will get some myself. Anyone else intersted and I will get a load imported?

If the drip tray is suitable I will get a carbon one made?

The current one is quite a thin plastic, also a point to bear in mind is a couple of guys had a small issue of the wiper mech rubbing.
I have one drip tray left, but I wouldnt want to post it because of its shape and size. You are welcome to collect it, to use as a template.

Richard, as Alex says they need the flexibility of plastic as the tolerances can differ car to car.

do the drip trays and protectors need to come from the US, or are they available from Noble in the UK?

US, or anywhere that wants to make them. AFAIR, the deal was private and nothing to do with Noble UK.

If the carbon is thin sheet it will be plenty flexible. I will take you up on the picking one up Alex and will take a look.

As we are talking under the front Clam, is there any mileage in changing the metal side parts that surround the rad and stop mud getting into the RAD and bits to carbon?

How much are the wheel arch protectors?

My arches are beginning to look a bit ragged.
I'm sure there's an innuendo there somewhere......

My wheelarches are a bit spattered as well so I am just checking the prices. Will post as soon as I know. I am assuming if we group buy we will get a discount, but so far there are only three of us interested.
