Also available on eBay (a lot cheaper and in all sorts of colours), although I've no idea of quality.....

Glad I seen this! the rough ones do look quite cool but I wondered if they would look tacky in the flesh!

Just ordered a set of smooth ones of the Bay at a price of 8.80 with free postage I definately cant complain!

will let you all know how they fit & look accordingly!

Spotty Dog!!!

The "rough" ones aren't rough!  :fighting: - They're knurled and consequently much more tactile and grippy.

It's a no-brainer: Knurled!

Knurling is far from tacky and is much more quality 'engineering':



Some you guys are like Magpies - Anything shiney and slightly bling regardless of how well something functions  :rolleye: [Unless you are running a 'Show' car]

I have the smooth ones from Awesome. I don't like the knurled ones to be honest, they're a bit tacky.

I've bought the cheapo smooth ones... £9 delivered from HK, worth trying, if I don't like 'em they'll resell for similar.
