Here are the ones I bought from Alistair.
I have not yet installed the front one due to ventilation. The rear one is in place and keeps my freshly painted rear subframe and fuel tank clean.

Yep, but that's prohibitive for me right now.
Anyone know of any second-hand trays going? Thanks for the pictures guys.

yes, he took some moulds off a set, like he did with my correct header rail for the hood (i found out gtms was incorrect as it was back to front!!) so he now sells them.

No probs Johnny. Happy to help.
You might need to make sure that theres a gasket is under the master cylinder. Apparently it can cause issues. I haven't seen one though to be honest when I fitted mine in the past and it worked OK.
Put some copperslip/grease on the threads on your bleed nipples....or even paint the threads...that way they will have half a chance of coming off in the future.
Cheers,
David

Re: F529YNG -LIVE (ON A KNIFE EDGE)
I recall a small metal plate fastened to the 2 bolts that hold the caliper in place. A sort of heatshield for the rubber gaiter of the cv joint?) I believe I did something wrong when I reinstalled it, because the next time I drove my car, the tiewrap of the gaiter got hung up on it and ripped. consequently the gaiter got dislodged, spitting out all that expensive molykote grease. Worth checking!
