If it was, think i was bidding on that one too!! lol
Yea finished last sunday maybe?? Won it for 26 quid i think, knew it was probably too good to be true but it was worth the risk at that price!
Yep that's the one! Had a fair idea that someone else on here would've had it

I have a few original screens and that one described on eBay a few weeks ago wasn't one I'm afraid.

Haha but in all seriousness i think they can go for a few quid if they are in good nick. Im having second thoughts about buying one due to my bad luck with birdstrikes, would be gutted if i cracked one!

To be honest I've got a few original screens and they are made far better than any aftermarket one. But if a good one was for sale for over 50-60 quid I wouldn't pay it, it's just not worth it. They are brittle now and prone to cracking pretty much everywhere especially near the mirrors and fixing holes.

Just get a nice nuvo one or an airblade in the standard shape.
