I was thinking of a seat retrim but having seen these on another thread I may be tempted. Anyone got them fitted? Any issues or restrictions? I have sent them an email but they seem a lot tile slow to respond. Cheers

Consider it done goose, I am sure they will reply in their own Italian time. Maybe it's just me in the uk that finds these a cost effective alternative to re-trim or maybe everyone else thinks they are just plain ugly. Either way it looks like I am on my own with this one.

Yeah the ones I was looking at where linked to by 2-20 in the worx thread. 2-20 had spotted them in the french forum but hasn't got them himself. They are glass fibre not carbon.

Tricky. I'd take a punt on one in glass if we can order them and share postage.

I emailed back in 2011 enquiring abou exhaust with no reply, so good luck. I reckon there would be large UK interest in the exhaust, it sounds insane. I want one.

I emailed them last year, fairly quick response from a person called Andrea. Within a day anyway, that was using the info@borbotta.com email addy.
