Thats what I thought too. Well impressed. Thought I had found my new best friend! Form us up some trick kit!

I REALLY want to do the infill panels on my curvy now lol. How much would I need. Would 30x60cm be enough? And would it be possible with the slatted design of the curvy infils?

I had some bits including the heel plates powder coated and theyve scratched up in literally 3 months of use.

I also did that cheap looking little bracket that holds the heel plate in place. I bought a a3 piece and still got loads left after doing 2 infills and 2 heel plates.

I also got hold of some matt black auto graphics vinyl and made up heel plate covers, they last about 3 months, peel off, cut new set and replace! As you can see these have been on for about 1000 miles and starting to fold over on the corner so wil probably replace at the weekend.
