Not added up the parts up yet but probably under 10k, But if you add labour and its definitely not profitable. But at least I know its all correct and no hidden faults or surprises .

Been out for a 2hr test and sort tonneau from Trent covers at Harby .Car ran well accelerator slightly hesitant due to over tight mounting.
While travelling from A46 to Harby I was followed by a 110 and a green 90 with white roof had a little convoy, wonder if they are on here.
Will post pics when cover is made a week on Saturday.

Exmoor carpet set started to be fitted today,
Been in the carpet and flooring trade 30 years and not impressed with the quality of the cuts for the price.

Yes its PVC although I could have had anything, wife did not want cloth as she used to have a MG Midget and did not like the fact the Black Mohair faded and was hard to clean.
Not had any flapping or noise at 70 it has four 1/4 turn fixings on the rail behind the cab and between the spare wheel also has bars under it.
At less than £100 +vat I think its good value

Does sound good value. Did you use rope to tie down or bungee cord?

Cheers

Bungee came with it. could have had eyelets but wanted to avoid any excess scratching so had cut-outs instead.

Hi, How do you go about getting the agreed value from Admiral? and special requirments?

You have to fill in a questionnaire sheet, listing what you have bought or had fitted, then supply 5 pictures. Send it back they will then decide if your figure is realistic and either agree or give a different valuation.

I was looking at the sets the other day none of them seem like too good a fitting! Actually contemplating making (getting someone else to stitch me) a leather seatbox cover could cut to suit for one. Surprised noone has tried. If turns expensive might try getting a carpet fitted rarther than the sets
Very impressed with finish by the way
