I ordered this skin from the UK when I purchased my first LE, thinking it would protect the chassis from scratches.
It was posted quickly and took a couple of weeks to arrive in Australia via Royal Mail (sounds very posh, lol).
It looks great but is very thin, I think about 1.5mm, although they do advertise a much thicker option at a dearer price. I cleaned the plate with isopropyl, and after the tedious task of removing all the screw cutouts, it was very easy to apply and seems to have adhered very well.
Unfortunately, I was very impatient, and the beautiful chassis suffered some minor scratches before it was applied.
Postage to Australia was almost the same cost as the skin.
I do like the look but can't help thinking that for an LE chassis, I would have much preferred a laser-cut clear skin to protect and still make the numbered chassis visible.
