Some time ago to compensate for various personal failings I installed a
Fresnel device on the rear window that acts like a wide angle lens and lets

 What year is Matilda?  Steel bumpers or highly crafted carbon-resin pseudo
bumpers that really are just fashionable trim pieces?  I installed a steel
substitute from Lucas at GoWesty.

Pensionerd.
