1737 An Act was passed 'for better regulating the Night Watch and Bedels within the City of London and the liberties thereof'. This Act directed the payments to be made for serving and directed the number of Constables who where to be on duty each night, i.e. the City established a paid police force before any other area 1829 The Metropolitan Police Act established that Force. The Metropolitan Police was divided into seventeen divisions each with a Superintendent, four inspectors and sixteen Sergeants 1833 The Lighting and Watching Act allowed the establishment of paid police forces in England and Wales generally 1835 The Municipal Corporations Act required 178 Royal Boroughs to set up paid police forces 1836 Inspectors of Constabulary were first appointed 1839 The County Police Act allowed the establishment of police forces for the counties - eight were formed in 1839, twelve in 1840, four in 1841 and a further four by 1851 1856 The remaining counties were compelled to set up police forces by the County and Borough Police Act. Grant were made by the Exchequer to those forces certified each year as efficient. From this Act, moves were made regularly to merge smaller forces into larger ones on the basis of effectiveness and 'value for rate and taxpayers money' 1919 The Desborough Committee, while rejecting the idea of a national police force, did achieve a measure of centralisation by the creation of a police department in the Home Office 1934 Home Office Committee effectively rationalises police uniforms 1946 Police Act leads to many police forces amalgamations - 45 boroughs were abolished 1964 Police Act results in more amalgamations to result in today's 41 county or area police forces plus the Metropolitan and City of London Police

Some focus have these also as does most Toyota prius. Some other manufacturers used this idea also . Handy if you are good at kerbing as you can just get a new cover and llooks like a new alloy...
