GR86 Electric Blue #2

Glad it was a stress free install!

I'm sure it's too early to say, but do you think it's worth the asking price?

On the engineering and quality alone yes.

Weather it's worth the price for me - I'll find out and let you know!

What happens with water falling off the back of the boot lid when opening the boot? It should fall in that gap and lead to drain holes on both sides, does it still do that with the cover on?

Still does this, same as before

Yeah fair enough, I'm tempted by a 5 digit on a standard sized plate. @GRavel Trap not helping with his collection photo

Ditto - I was initially going for standard plates. Looked at this and another photo by @Moonballs, and bought myself a 5 digit plate right away. Makes a huge diff to the looks of the car to my eyes.

Last night, alone in my garage, with child and partner asleep, I played with my new knob.

Increased feel over standard, but slightly less easy to slot in

Machined from solid Smurfanium

Today I applied some cough genuine carbon to my door sill, because I keep covering it in mud and for some reason the mud is really hard to get out of that plastic.

This is what I bought:

Thought I'd buy something cheap and make sure it worked first, then might get something higher quality later.

Nice clean curves today

Going back to the cargo net, how hard was it to install. I asked about it today at Bracknell and the guy from the parts department said fitting may mean removing panels in the boot and it does not just clip on.
Is that correct?
TIA

You do need to remove 2 panels but it's quite easy to do, just remove 2 clips and panels, remove the boot liner, attach the nuts and refit the liner. Takes 3 minutes, the "hardest" part is locating the clips...

Exactly, nice and easy and very useful item, Bracknell can send you the official fitting instructions if you like.

You don't even need to remove the panels or liner, you can just bend the top of each panel slightly out the way, it's very easy.

I take it, it’s easy to unhook if you need to fill the boot?

Yes very, just elastic, when I have a full load I clip it all to one side.

 

[DpM]

Thanks. I will get one ordered soon.

Personally, I just use some velcro clamps...

Amazon product ASIN B00P231PP4
6 of those, and you're set. Can make them fit any configuration, and also when not in use take up a very small space

Interesting. Great idea.

Unless I get a boot liner and the velcro won’t work.

Awesome drive around Aylesbury with a friend. The Tuscan is awesome!

Well thank you builders!
