There are cheaper copies that are perfectly fine including the Ironman and there's one that 4wd supplies one of our forum sponsors sells as well - all are the spitting image of the safari.

Can anyone comment on the longevity of the copies - my only concern has been whether they have the same UV-stabilising 'stuff' in them as the more expensive ones. Cos on the outside, they look just as black

I haven't done anything deep yet but I know after driving in super heavy rain there's proof of water sitting in the bottom? I guess that's what the drains for, but in saying that it would probably just evaporate on its own anyway. I think I would have mine blocked up if I was going over the bonnet deep.
Sorry for the off topic hijack.
