  2. Mate, at a quick glance they looked like 2 skinned rabbits,
    think i need to go to "specsavers" :-[
     
  3. Don't throw them its only the outer skin that's gone, they'll be good for someone.

    Nice work. Do the mats cover the flat bit of the wheel tub behind the seat?
    Mine stop short & it winds me up.

  14. Drivers side done, no pics as it is pretty much the same as the other side.
     
  15. There was never a side piece repop'd for the westy so I haven't done it yet, not sure how I'll do it bit I will figure something out.
