They are completely different to those - the Mirage ones are a folded edge profile with Ford Racing etched on them and are customised to each car with a manifold number. I'll have to root out a photo.

That picture was the first set that Mirage made. Subsequent sets used the correct font for the "Racing" text.

I've got the ones ordered via RPOC....



Think they are really nice....excellent service and fitted really well. Think I used a stronger adhesive than the pads supplied though.

if you fit them using exterior velcro you can remove them to clean and check underneath, pads risk bending the plates plus you can't reuse them but have to clean them off
