anyone bought these from ross? and do they replace the whole lid or have to be fitted on to the hinge? Also how good do they look? cheers

Check with Ross,but i think you may have to remove the painted cover off the frame and drill and bolt the new cover over the old frame.

but seriously the normal lids where only the center opens doesnt leave much room to actually get your fingers in and open the cap. with the Fake lid its easy!
