Title: Grey Side Panels - now only £40
Post by: kamilb1998 on 16, May, 2012 - 18:23:35
These came with the tonneau cover I bought, but I don't need them and could do with some money so they are up for sale.

They have no rips but are used and do have a couple of imperfections.

I have seen new ones advertised for £100 on the forum previously so I am looking for £40 for these, this includes postage, or I would consider part exchange for a set of mirrors or an indicator kit.

If we could have sight of a pair of side panels we could probably make you pair, colour to choice.

Hi I don't think the problem is with the material it's the plastic clips that hold them on to the C5 is the problem

Hi Chas,
I might be able to identify the plastic clips if I had sight of them.Or we might stock something else that will do the same job-I have some black plastic hooks similar to dogclips that would probablty grip the reverse edge flange of the bodyshell on the *pardon my French*pit sides

I have an old set of faded blue panels and the elastic has stretched, but I'm now thinking of getting the panels made up for me. Might choose a different colour other than the original three ?

We have suitable fabric in the following clours: blue green red yellow black cream purple maroon and ORANGE
Clips photographed by Chas I don't recognize hence we'd either have to re-use your old ones or perhaps Chas could make and sell new clips for us to incorporate into side panels.

Chas I have a good source for plastic sheets here in Leeds but you may have similar suppliers down there. Do we really need to use what appear to be 2"wide slots hence expensive 2" webbing when I'm sure 1" webbing would be more than adequate and 1" slots less work to make? Of course for originality we could stick with 2"
Once I have sight of an original side screen and I will be able to calculate the price for a pair.

At present we are only looking at making side panels which will be available in blue green red yellow orange red black maroon purple or cream. They will differ from the originals in that instead of the 2 large plastic clips with wide elastic they will be fitted with plastic hooks with narrower but sufficient elastic and the velcro strips will be either white or black rather than the same colour as the fabric. This serves to keep the cost down to £60/pair including postage.
Once we have sight of the tonneau we may well be able to make that  item too
