I too am not over happy with the plastic cowl on my 2011 +4, however my previous +4 ( a 2007 ) had a much neater type which was shorter and enclosed the steer boss such that only the alloy part showed. Would the earlier type fit the later model?
The earlier cowl - I have it on my 2005 4/4 - is a LandRover part including stalks and ignition switch direct from a Mk1 Discovery or Mk1 Freelander. This is of reasonable quality and shows off the whole of the fluted boss on the Motolita (which is aluminium not s/s), and as it's black goes well with my black leather. The leather covered solution on the Allon White website is the earlier cowl.
If the Allon White cowl is the earlier type, then that does fit the later cars as its fitted to my 2010 car. Before I bought the AW cowl I discussed it with Mike Duncan who thought the cowls were sourced from a Land Rover but we never tracked down which model. Now we know
Jays Former Morgan owner. Gone but hopefully not forgotten!
The cowl trimming is now a factory fitted option on the production line when the car is being built and trimmed.
The metallic cowl you mention is a German company (I'm sorry the name escapes me at the moment) and this involves changing all of the indicator/wiper arms on the steering column which I would not recommend or carry out.

Please advise if the wheel cowl on your Roadster is factory fitted, or have you retro fitted it.
You know it makes sense!
