I got some wrong ones and some of the metal parts were missing when I ordered mine. Nothing wrong with the quality.

order through deflex themselves as far as i know

the ford magazines only show them as being for sale from deflex

should be your best for warranty and cheapest

I got mine from JC motorsport, they look lovely in the shed

Will be fitting them before the MOT though, hopefully should tighten the car up nicely
