Looks OK

Just got the strap and bottom trims to fit


It is a good quality cover . The material is softer than original and the dimensions are spot on. It is a lot better than other covers that only have a plain edge to them. I would recommend them.

Thanks Barney

TBH, it's the job I hate the most. I am not good with stretchy stuff and am never happy with the result. Still, once my fat a*se is on it, you won't be able to see it anyway :lol:

Honestly............... :lol:

Strap and side trims fitted. The dome head rivets I got off ebay are perfect for the job when combined with the same star washers you can use on panel emblems

Thanks Paul. It's down to the quality of the cover. It fits perfectly and the edging includes the cable that you clamp to, just likeOEM. It was very reasonable at £45 including postage I thought.Kev
