Mudguard extension PHSL : 365 What pride in being British, this mudguard shows. Lots of decisions were made in its creation. Was cream chosen to make it show up? We want to know who designed it and which company manufactured it? Can you help? Check out the case on the 10 Most Wanted website: http://10most.org.uk/artefact/mudguard-extension.
