Being steel they rust easily when they chip, I modulars on the tomcat where they take a fair punishment and I've never had any problems with them.

Had my for nearly two years without a problem. They look brand-new on the rare occasions that the car is clean. Like Ken says, avoid the red pinstripe ones (unless you're a fan of the old batmobile look). Peter

That is a rather lovely photo, and great for me as my 90 s same colour, so gives me perfect idea of what they'd look like  Simon

Thanks for the replies.Loving the look of the black modulars - only concern is I'm a bit lazy at keeping the 90 clean, and so don't want them looking knack'd within a year... Simon

Good God man, with a set of modulars and a bucket and sponge you could wash them in under five minutes to prolong the finish longevity! Tell you what! Next time you need a dump 'pm' me and I'll come wipe your ar5e if you're that bone idle! 
No offence meant by the way! But do you want jam on it? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

 Superb! Fair point...! Looking back, that was a bit 'weak' wasn't it?!? Simon
