I thought BMC only made filters.

And can you really trust a seller from "out of space. USA"?

YEah seller sounds dodgy. Its for the ZX series US focus's anyway, from my experience there would be alot of rooting round to get it to fit and work

Item location : out of space, United States
Postage : $15 registered

Made from T-304 stainless steel ..... High quality polished chrome surface finishing
All very suss IMHO. If it's T-304 stainless then why are they chromed as well? The price is way too cheap for stainless extractors and look at the item location!? The postage is way too cheap too....
