I remenmber reading somewhere that (my words) this is basically a plastic body with very very thin aluminium pressed on top. Hence ali to the touch, but it is literally just 'skin-deep'.

I also dont understand why someone would pay so much money for the badge, when a perfectly acceptable GRP Dax is available for about £35k (~$55k) ready to roll.
