Walnut Accessories - new colour pics/and order details - Page 147

Just received today virtually a full set of walnut trim from Simon, very quick delivery and a trader on this forum among others that can be trusted.

These add-ons have cost me 25% of the purchase price of the car, but a price I was willing to pay. They're very much a 'Marmite' thing I know and not to everyone's taste, but I think they add that finishing to touch to what already is a beautifully designed and looking car.

If you are waiting for any of Simon's trim please note that he has been in bed for a week with a bad cold, so he is a bit behind. Hopefully he will be ok in a few days and will get back to making and supplying.

I was about to order some trim when he had his earlier problems, hence i put it off. Just wondering if, apart from this cold, it is the right time to put in an order?

Yes he is only a few days behind and recovering from his earlier health problems

Received mine today, but ordered No27 instead of No24.

Will be placing new order for Chrome surrounds soon.

Morning!
I bought mine walnut & chrome interior additions from both I found suppliers - mainly first from this one, than from Simon as extension due to the fact that I found his after ordered from the ebayer.

Just mentioning - from both I`m satisfied in 90%.

Ebayer`s disadvantages:
- Stereo F just 1 type - Simon`s are 3. Mine is from other 2;
- Heater /AC controls/ one is 4mm narrower than mine "base" - finally acceptable as isn`t observable from a distance.

Simon`s disadvantages:
- outer chrome surrounds for all of window switches are a bit narrower than mine "bases"
- all chrome tweeters surrounds are a bit narrower than the "base" - especially for the rear ones - how to apply them on a textile? Will DIY with a silicone;
- the same with outer surround for the hazard/lock switch.
May be I did something wrong with applying, but in doubt...

Simon`s HUGE advantage is that you are able to order every single part separately!

They look astonishing aren`t they?

By the way ebayer`s sets are a bit bargain right now.

Quick recovery Simon!!!
I`m waiting to order again.

It’s light oak , though.

Any comments?
