It's been on my car for some 10,000 miles and has no signs of wear whatsoever. If you search the Forum for his name, then you are bound to come acorss the thread where he told us about his (possibly one-off) efforts to do a proper engineering job on the item. Fabian was in France I believe.

If anyone else wants to go down this path I would be interested in picking up one as well.
