I've not used them, but know a few who have. They are okay up to a point. If you just scrape then they do give protection, but anything over that and they simply rip partly or fully off. Probably worth a tenner if you tend to be a natural born kerb hugger :wink: :laugh:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
