    Did that include fitting a GB alloy surround at the same time Guy?

    Oddly enough no Chris! Both fitters said let the screen set and came back the next day to deal with the ally trim. I had to insist that one of them actually billed me for his time, had to think that you could get excited about fitting a screen!

    They were very interested in the car?
    The trim is a lovely thing, but has no function other than that, so fitting it at a different time makes sense.

    First one did it as a red stradale back in 1991 Chris - had never seen one, don't think he knew what it was. He billed.

    Second one did it as the Gp4 Pirelli and he was the petrolhead, took loads of pics for his company website, didn't want to bill. Trouble is, I believe in paying peeps for their time/expertise plus a bill = guarantee it it goes tits up!
