Bought mine from lolocost, they arrived with marked gelcoat, not fussed as I'm going to paint the whole car, would be a pain if you're not
going to do so.
The guy I spoke to on the phone told me upfront that the molds wern't perfect and the two wings where slightly different personally I
can't spot it, though maybee when it comes time to actually fix them to the car it will be evident, though he did say the brackets will hold
them in place, he also gave some usefull information on where they should be located to get the best look. Best to speak to them yourself and get the
gen.
The problem I came accross is finding anyone else who will supply them.
You could also do a forum search on lolocost to find other opinions on this supplier, I find it hard to recommend them but I wont slag them off

Clamshells
Ibought 2 pair from your (UK) ebay, both sets were westfields, on set cost me 100 GBP and the other 30 GBP, so I got 2 sets for 65 GBP (average),
which I thought was a good deal cuz they are like $300 a set here in the states.

bear in mind at speed clamshells give lift and drag, so not aerdoynamically friendly and also need solid brackets/mounting or they flop around all
over the place with air resistance.
but if you like the look then that's obviously different 
beware, I've got yellow skin

Don't they cover the whole front wheel to stop spray? Like the US Deiusenburg monster
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
