Interesting... and cool.

I see your postman has been leaving a trail, theyâ€™re like large snails, but a bit faster.

I maybe be over cautious, but carbon fibre and aluminium don't particuly like each other. It's the same as putting stainless steel and aluminium together, they really need to have something inert between them. But is does look good !!

Alec, I did notice that they were done as a matching pair, which imho makes a big difference to how they look
