Has anyone else had this problem?

No. Mine are stil ok. I don’t clean them. All I do is wash them when I clean the car.

If the seller wont send to Germany then I could do that for you for postage.

I presume these are the plastic ones, can someone confirm?

I hadn't realised that these were still available.

Yes these are the original plastic ones, someone found a box of them somewhere, they haven't been for sale since the early 2000's.

Thanks. I'll be getting myself at least one set.

Hi Mike.
Yes they are the plastic chrome ones sold by David whom is a genuine guy, so if for what ever reason they went wrong early I am sure he would help you out.

Nano crew and members have purchased from him different items and they have always been good value

I just got an engine mount from him, very pleased with it. I fancy the finishers, but not sure they would look right on the ZT with it not having all the chrome!

Look rubbish with the holes in them, they weren’t dished to the profile of the recess so they never sat properly on both sets I bought, and they fouled the handles unlike the OE plastic ones that are grooved for fitment.
Fab idea, and credit to Croft’s for doing it, but they weren’t worth it.

I've ordered two sets ( I have at least two cars!) but it does mean I can pass on the used set I bought a while back and never got round to fitting.

His pride & joy is still going strong though, and (the original?) Croft’s finishers are still looking great.😄
