I had a set from Scoobyworld, but they were to stiff for my bonnet on my classic, my bonnet almost bent double trying to close it, so they are sitting in the garage.

Shame there Green........i would purchase the Tein ones if they where a different colour.

Ralph at Milsport has some carbon ones that i,m sure would be of high quality...Will be picking some up from him just as soon as i sort out my brakes.....
