They do the job but aren't great so I'm waiting till better weather and some time to fettle mine more.
Did you have the rear security plates on yours? I'm wondering if these were left off then the 'deeper cup' would not matter, could the spring be swapped with the stronger one on the OE handle?

Good to hear that the colour is almost a match for PBT though, I was a bit worried it would be too noticeable.
