Get solid. Removes any change (ish) of movement and fretting/rubbing of paint from bodywork and flipy front. Think their cheaper from mini spares than them polys too.

That just makes no sense to me. I know race cars take a C**p load more of a beating but why are they good for them and not for road.

The mind, she boggles so.

cause race tracks are nice and smooth and flat (generally) not riddled with pot holes and speed bumps like our lovely roads !!!
