I can comment on single skin, not double. From memory the std set up including brackets is something like 16-17kg's? Obviously you will need to keep the standard brackets though and these are pretty heavy.

The fit is pretty good considering these are what I would term race car finish items. Mine was very slightly twisted but only out by a few mm's. Nothing drastic.
It came with the washer jet holes uncut, so you have to do that yourself if you need them keeping. If not you are left with 2 marks where the holes should go.

The overal finish was good, but again it's worth rembering these are race car style parts. When painted you will see marks through, again nothing drastic though.

Overall excellent parts and I would use Martin again in a flash :wink:

Now if only I could get him to advertise on Northloop I could get him more business............Standing joke :D :D :D
