Hello, can anyone tell me how the black front wheel mudguards are finished. I have read that they are enameled, and that they are painted. Or is it both somehow?

I am not sure what you are asking. Enamel is paint. Did you mean powder coated?

Just painted, and come unpainted if you buy replacements. They also have lots of nooks and crannies to hold water and road crud that help them to rust.

Mine were powder coated, had them stripped off and painted over the winter as the powder coating was starting to comm off at the bottom edge.

The carbon fiber ones from G56 are starting to look better. How sturdy are they?

Nobody knows just yet, last I talked to them they were durability testing. Haven't heard anything since.

The rather sturdy steel ones that Morgan makes had appeal to me, but if they are nothing but rust buckets then it seems less impressive.
However I would not rule out using the services of a truck bedliner spray, like LINE-X, to thickly coat the underside, nooks and crannies all, to stop the incursion of water and road salts into the welds and seams.
