 Need some new panels - and 300 notes for a full plastic fairing seems a good deal - anyone tried the numerous ones on ebay?

Need a new front cowl in blue - which just don't come up for sensible money, so might splash out - but only if they fit... So many glass copies are a crap fit, so wanted to ask advise before blowing a wad of dosh


Many thanks

 I've heard good and bad things about those from China. Personally I'd rather buy from the UK for that kinda of money, does that include postage and import taxes?

Someone recommend these guys to me last yr

 I have a m8 who got 1 said there ok not perfect fit but he like many didnt think about the petrol tank which of course you dont get with the kit so have to have your tank painted and that can be expensive.
