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...

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?
