Post by: CD17 on January 23, 2010, 05:06 PM: Yes look like third to me too, up until a year or so ago everyone thought these were 2nd gen Profile's, I know I sold a set around three or four years ago & listed them as 2nd Gen thinking they were :-[

Post by: HUTCHMAN on January 23, 2010, 06:57 PM: 3rd gen Neil. still a lush bit of kit though.
Title: Re: Are these really 2nd Gen profiles?
Post by: Mattdub on January 23, 2010, 07:41 PM: 1st Gen = Squarer section - no decal indent .
2nd Gen = Squarer section - decal indent .
3rd Gen = Slightly rounded edges - decal indent .

My understanding anyhow .......... :LolLolLolLol:

If someone has all three then get a pic up of them together ;)
