yea i had a reply off one company based in australia today
and they said you can also have any design for the same price
and they send you pics ect when its done to see if your happy with it before they send it.
i had a quote from dream machine yesterday for the v&m,terry iirc
he said he painted some of the v&m bikes for jack valentine,
but the quote was £1200 including wheels.

Think for £400 I'd go for the replica fairings & keep the ones you have as spares
