Not much at all really tbh,I have 1 tiny one on the front edge of the lower splitter and none on the main stone deflector in 1000 miles but i only drive it 4000 miles per year (as per insurance) and i do try not to get too close to cars in front as escort cossie front ends are prone to chips in a big way and ive not long had the bumper painted!!!!!!.

Here's the thread about the GGR ones:

https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...highlight=ggr+ carbonfibre

The guy who works a couple down from me has the GGR carbon and it looks okay, not as good as the pic's above. They must be CC...

I'm quite tempted to get some, but unsure if they will look good on my white one...

For anyone in the know: so does this mean a creative carbon heatshield is different to a standard heatshield. or is it simply after market exhausts are slightly bigger and more set back?
