i'm pretty sure you could still return it regardless by pulling the 'distance selling regulations' line, it may cost you shipping (use interparcel.com, should cost you about a tenner) and cut your losses at that...

Failing that, just put a claim in through paypal to say it wasn't described as a fake?

Man alive, the quality of that 'thing' is shocking, feel for you buddy, 166 sheets for a badly formed lump of plastic!!!

PSW, what sort of money are you looking for, for your spare splitter?  If the Captain isn't interested of course.

it is a replica, I have it on my front end... requires some modification to fit it, dremal needed :)... heres a pic.



Although I bought it from the same guy and paid £100 inc postage?? I contacted him before buying it and made the offer though and he accepted it. Fink the normal advertised price was £120 inc P&P.
