No Chris, the old car was a GTD.

These were new parts but purchased from a guy on Ebay who sold his car and never got round to fitting it. The grand total of £16 including the little ball stud and bracket. Probably wouldn't have paid £50 for it though.
£20 or less would perfectly acceptable but £50 isn't  :grin:

I agree, if anyone has one they don't want and will sell it to me for £20 delivered I'm interested.

If you care enough about the engine bay to warrant cleaning it then aesthetics are surely important.
Therefore £50 isn’t the end of the world.
Just a thought!

Going from my own experiences with earlier cars that had them fitted (PP and R), the manifold trim is a good way of holding tuning box cables in situ and hiding them mostly out of sight.
Unfortunately my CS has neither!

I saw these being advertised about 3 years ago. Reviews weren't good as it was difficult to get the device to cut in one continuous sweep, leaving a ridge. Maybe they've solved that issue, or maybe the OP has done a better job of trimming. Will be good to hear back about trimmed wiper performance.

Went in to my local REVO dealer and Dub specialist for a 6 month interim oil n filter, took the opportunity to have a spray round underneath with some XCP...  :smiley:
