(To explain. The finishers originally produced fitted perfectly to the piece of door cut out and sent to me originally. However for some reason unknown they were not an exact fit when tried on our actual cars though were acceptable. Lets hope we have got it right now.)
Will go to Newmarket tomorrow to have a look.
Not in time for Christmas but perhaps you can put them on your birthday wish list for 2008 !?
Good on you mate. Lets hope it all works out well! We are all very grateful for all your efforts on this.

Please add me to the list on the following proviso:

1. The cost (for 4) is reasonable (i.e. about £20 for the set).
2. They would fit a 2001 tourer

And

3. How do they attach????

Certainly would look good

Well done, Crofts. This has taken quite a lot of time and energy on your behalf. A bit too late for me as I just got a set but this will make a lot of people happy :lol:

2. Doors didn't change from 99-05, nor between models, so should be OK.

3. The originals were fitted with double sided tape so I assume the same could be used for the new version.

Thumbs up Another addition to the list of buyers

I thought I had asked to be added to the list, but I can't find the evidence. Could I do so now, please? Any indication of cost, yet?

The original mass produced sets cost £45 + five years ago so I wonder how achievable your price point will be.

My personal opinion (from a totally no-involved view) - a price of around £60+ per set would be great value for money, if achievable, though realistically we may have to pay more.

Regards

The production and sale of these items is in no way connected to the club, our only involvement is to keep this list going for the use of potential suppliers.
Crofts is in sole charge of supply and costings, hopefully when he has them for sale all your questions will be answered. Until that time all else is speculation.

Good job Crofts and we sincerely hope you can get these out to the members soon.

Sounds good to me, Please put my name down for a set, should they become available.

Thank you......
