Just a quick message to say that I purchased a couple of these covers last summer when my car was brand new. Luckily, Gray52 lives quite near my place of work so he fitted them for me. Anyway, since being fitted I have covered around 18k miles without any foglight drama whatsoever. This is doing a lot of driving each day on the A1 too.

Anyway, on a stretch of open road in the country near grantham I unfortunately hit a cat which ran out onto the main road and darted across (this was a 60mph road). By the time I could stop and check, I had some fur in the corner of the spoiler and a missing foglight cover. I can only assume the car must have clipped the cat as it made its dash and the impact dislodged the cover. I wasn't sure of the status of the cat but at least the spoiler meant it didn't go under the wheels, although not sure the alternative was too good either.

Anyway, despite the impact and the loss of the cover, the foglight was still in perfect condition so at least it did its job.

Popped round to Gray52's again yesterday and picked up a replacement cover, so now the car feels complete again.

I would totally recommend these covers to anyone. With my mileage, I feel sure I would have had a smashed light by now if it wasn't for them and the outlay is so cheap in comparison.
