...I am sure she has posted a similar thing on a Handbag forum " My good lady bought a Radley (spelling) handbag for about £200 so I think I am in credit for a few more bits for The Boss...Well in fact I did manage to get a pair roof rails for £20 (now fitted) and I have the tool storage jobbie also that goes in the wheel well, tools, wedges etc.

Hi Tony,
are the (black bits to which the mirrors fit) painted black or are they black plastic finish? Your second picture makes it appear painted.

It was raining when I took the first two pictures, maybe the reason why it looks painted, but no... The new or should I say old bullet mirrors are made of ally(the door fixing part) and the bit that you refere to is made of plastic that I had before, I believe the 25 and 45 are the same style unit...Good old project drive.

Cheers
Tony

Didnt find that in the topic.

Today I've recieved Finisher-front sill-floor cover for my 2002 ZTT. Orignal PN EAN100980LNF (NLA) and the raplacement is EAN000650LNF.

Here is the difference. Old and new. New looks very cheap...

very interesting
never knew exact details of Project Drive
from the point of view of a car enthusiast, it devastates me

very sensible though. 99% of average users would never have noticed any of these changes, and at the end of the day, that's what mattered for business. some of the changes are quite intelligent too

it's making me want an early one all the more though......

Anyone found the larger trim get kicked off easier than the smaller type though.
In fact never had to replace the clips on the narrow type

Yes, seems that you are right! But I will leave the old type for the rear because kids step on them when they enter the car. Otherwise they will put the dirty shoes on a velvet rubber.

Jules · 16th February 2011, 10:03

I thought it is the other way round!
The smaller trim is the older design and the more bulky trim is the later type.
To me the later type is worse for being kicked off!!

Afternoon Paul!

Have you got these deletions/changes
Sorry if they are duplicated.

Bonnet cable divider block changes

Rubber wedge.
This deletion is the main cause of bonnet release failure!
Hence the reason for my tape wrap MOD.
There's still sceptics amongst you who wonder how the tape works.........but it does !!
It keeps the single cable in the slot towards the engine.

Bonnet earth bonding strap.
This was deleted very early on I believe

Me too, about half the people that get in the passenger side end kicking it off. Tried all types of glue and both types of clips nothing seems to work. I've just given up and left the damned thing off.
