What is the fitting process please?

I followed this pretty closely. Mostly the same!

Brilliant cheers. Going to order a Black one. Although the Grey one looks cool

Only complication I had was this:

After removing the staples from the gaiter, the ones that attach it to the plastic frame support, I had no staple gun. So just used a quick bonding adhesive! Let the gaiter settle onto the frame with adhesive for an hour or so (while I played the new forza 6 game with a mate). Then that was it, basically a case of clip and go!

Wait, staples? Removing? What what, I didn't need to do any of that [emoji14]

My existing gaiter was held onto the plastic frame by 15 industrial strength staples. To get the frame re-usable, I had to remove each one!

Not on mine. It was firmly attached. Trust me!

did you try pulling from the side nearest the radio?

Yes. I'm talking about the plastic thin frame for the gaiter, rather than the dash centre panel surrounding the gear stick. The actual leather is held onto the square plastic frame with 15 staples!

Looking very shiny, taken during the first week I took delivery.

A small shop in Worthing has a similar sign in it's window but for a Hillman Imp. Lo and behold I looked out of the bus window as we passed the other day and there was a Hillman Imp, parked on the shop frontage!

Quick wash and fitted Wind deflectors today

Looking good, like the stubby aerial

So that's how you got your insurance down. No passengers.

Or are you trying to compete in the 500  miles/tank contest.
