Hi, I found them on ebay, claimed oem but couldn't see a label, however they're very good quality. It was a one off private sale.

Morning Edd,

Fantastic updates and looks really fresh in the cabin. The rear axel work reminds me I still need to get underneath Project EUD to conduct the same maintenance.

Keep up the great work Sir.

Kind regards,

Tom

A few more photos, a tinker here and there today, thanks to @2work for a new scuttle panel, rear license lenses screws and backs, and a door switch and mirror switch

To day I fitted the scuttle, a new tyre, speaker grills (thanks @Clackers ), the cv boot metal clip, drivers carpet and mat, and the rear lense repaired. Also stuck no plate on properly and refit the clips on tailgate trim.

Here's a few pics...

Wheels are pretty good actually..

 

[CrispyEdd]

This leaves me with the following list and an mot to arrange..

Fuse cover clips @depronman in post
Dipstick end @deproman in post
Oil and filter service (in post)

The wheel arch I'm.not sure what to:
Leave it, touch it in or attempt respray! Ummm hmm not worth it really as not keeping it so probably get some touch up paint for new onwer.

your alloys look mint, mine are the worst i've seen

Walk around shows all the bad bits

Walk around shows all the bad bits

Not too bad I’m sure you will sort out those minor issues. Just noticed on the 5 seater models they have a place under the false floor to put the central headrest when the 5th seat is not in use for better visibility

 

[CrispyEdd]

Yes it's cool, I like it but the centre headrest tube top covers fall off easy so I leave it in!
