Cheap!

I paid £50 for a bit of bent metal. It's still on but i've had to have a replacement as the original broke when the rear tyre touched the number plate.

If you're getting one i'd forget about the plate light and mount the plate as high up as it will go.

Also be aware the if you only have 2 wires for the indicators going up into the tail unit it will let water in so gaffa tape between the metal and rubber bit to water proof it and water will also get into the indicators unless you seal them with silicon or similar.

BTW i have no experience of any other tail tidies but Hamicad get good press on this site.
I had exactly the same problems with mine. It's gone through 2 indicators and one tail light through inadequate protection.

I also had the problem with the plate touching the tyre. On mine the plate got torn off. R&G never paid for the plate. I had a police witness and everything!
