question for you, doe the finish degrade? I am wondering if the brushed look will smooth out over time. I don't want it to, but fear it might.

Looks very nice! And the whole "hot in summer cold in winter" thing is nonsense. Ive never experienced it.

James, if its ever sunny up in Scotland, then put your face on your bonnet after its been in the sun for a couple of hours and then tell me that metal getting hot in the summer is nonsense!!

I used to have a great big metal scat shift thingy in a beetle I had. It used to practically freeze to my hand in the winter and cause third degree burns in the summer.
Saying that, nice ****, haha!
I don't think it'd be as bad as the beetles was though.
...scat shift...daft name
