Oh yeah I suppose I should post this

I bought some on ebay a while back, they are just little cast aluminum things.. Only a quid or so each and they look really tidy

Thanks to Mobby I now have a set of Cesaros. I did intend to have them vapour blasted and take my time painting them but I'm too damn impatient so I just scotched them and lashed them up in some pure white 2K. Its a proper BODGE!
