    50 sounds good......i've heard FK are meant to look great. Does anyone know if the ECP ones are any good before i go down and see it? that one is about 45 so should i just get the FK instead? hmmmmm

    Well I'm well chuffed with mine and I've only had the bottom bar colour coded, left the 2 slats black and the quality's really good. Bonrath are good but more expensive and I'd have had to have sanded the "by bonrath" off the lower part before I had it sprayed, looks w@nk IMHO

    mines got an ecp.

    yeah...and wax gets stuck in it. if i'm right the fk ones are identical but without the bonrath badge! where as the cheap ones are all one piece (as opposed to having the slats separate from the bottom bar) and look 'cheap' (no offence meant to anyone who has one). mine had a bonrath on when i bought it, but i'd go fo an fk if i was buyin one now.
