| I received a carbon front mudguard for the 748 - got it for £26 in the end.
They appear to be a single outer layer of carbon, probably backed with fibreglass, and then a black paint underneath. It's certainly not full CF as it is far too stiff and a bit heavier too.
The quality is fine, a couple of minor (very minor!) pock marks in the gel coat, but it fitted fine and the weave is all ok too.
For the price you can't beat it. I paid by PayPal and it took a week to arrive.
I believe that all of these traders are using drop-shipping rather than it being one single company - that is that they're making commission on the orders made to a third party rather than supplying all the items themselves. The guy I paid was in the UK, but the item came from France. Someone must be selling a "retailer package" for ebay which includes all the auction templates and graphics, which is why they all look the same.
For the price you can't go wrong. Take into account the shipping and bid accordingly.
YMMV, etc.
