They're priced at £30.

This one was a prototype so we could get the dimensions/threads etc sorted out. I'm happy with how it looks, when you consider how far the OE one pokes out, this is shorter and neater.

Standard on the wifes car





So we took that one, measure how far it stuck out, and reduced it accordingly







And that's the finished size ^

Long enough to fully clear the bumper, yet short enough to not look shit

They're tested to 3 tonnes, which is where the ring begins to deform.







So more than capable of supporting a saxo! The OMP ones are thinner, so must be more likely to bend?

If people are interested then get some names together and i'll sort them out
