Afternoon John
Assuming the originals were then genuine, I think what he's done is fix m3esque or rieger skirts in such a fashion as to get the seam as flush as poss, but to do so he had to tilt them out at the bottom (and spoiled it somewhat as a result in imo).
As for what mine looks like, I've had to buy the mule some rieger skirts just to stop it giving me earache, cos I've been using the T5 all summer as is just more practical. I've yielded to its nagging and even promised it a complete re-spray for crimbo now too. Makes my head hurt though (if I told you how in debt I am already you wouldn't beleive me).
The things we do..!?!?
