The hamicad is good. I've never heard a bad word against them.
Get one of the newer stainless ones, though, eventually the paint comes off the mild steel and then it rusts.

There are cheaper options on ebay, but not spectacularly cheaper.

Err, ok, but the hamicad gets mentioned everytime the topic of tail tidies comes up.

You could always make one yourself. Here is the template you will need. Just get this shape cut out of a piece of metal plate and drill the holes as required. Then bend it along the dotted line. Attach your existing number plate bracket to it and make some small 'L' shaped brackets to mount your indicators.

I found this in another part of the site (Goodies section I think)

This is the cheapest option for sure.

I have a candy blue 2005 K4. Which hamicad fender eliminator do I get? There are three and not sure which is which. Any views?

Also, is it worth ordering the grill set at the same time?

Cheers

Whichever one you like, they're all the shape, just slightly different quality materials.
The grills are good, since the front fender is so small you're quite likely to get stones hitting the rad and that damages the fins pretty badly.
