Mine are sprayed black, so somewhat devalued :exitright: :lol:

But I do use them, mainly in the summer when I can leave the roof down when it's in the garage and I'm not intending to stop anywhere, or on a hoon.

Your cars worth more than £100 isn't it :P
For bits of plastic, they do seem to fetch stupid money. I wonder how many are just sitting in previous owners sheds and attics, gathering dust or have been binned :cry:

Yeah and when they come across them they can't remember what they are for. Never mind how much they are worth so end up chucking them in the bin!

To be honest, they look nice fitted but somewhat defeat the design of an electric roof if you have to get out to take them off and then back in to close the roof!
I've heard people forget they're on and close the roof and they ping off.

They really should have been standard kit!

Why would you want to hang onto some old pieces of plastic trim like that John, I will do you a favour and take them off your hands mate, buddy. pal. I know, some will call me a mug for offering to take them, but if can help you de-clutter your home...then I'm a mug :whistle:

Considered these, for about 10 minutes...Then...No! I think these are like the stubby vs whippy. A matter of taste, or should I say 'bad taste' with the stubby... :topicclosed:
