Side Protection Strips

[101RRS]

I got my first car park tap on the passenger door the other day - no dent but the paint chipped off.

Landrover want $450 for the four small rubber protection strips - anyone know of an aftermarket alternative. I have looked in places like super cheap but they only have the old narrow type - after the something that looks like the OEM strips.

Thanks

Yes Garry give the UK sites a go. I got a set delivered from the UK for $212 AUS and the exchange rate is better now.

Nick Lee, he's the parts manager at Yeovil Land Rover, may take him a couple of days to reply but I'd recommend him, the prices he's quoted me for a load of parts for my car recently have been cheaper than even my independant can get them for.

Hi Garry,

I had a set delivered from Duckworth Parts 2 weeks ago. Plain black 90 pounds, with bright insert 105 pounds. I dealt with Dan Roberts. They accept Paypal. Very smooth transaction, arrived 7 days later.

If you don't mind me asking Trif how much was the freight from the UK to here?

I've used Dan Roberts from Duckworth for a few small items, very reliable and prompt.
cheers

Just spoken to Dan at Duckworths. Asked for a quote for accessories.
Side mouldings with bright inserts..................LSD 105
Carpet mats, 1st and 2nd row........................ 115
Cargo barrier........................................... ... 165
Mud flaps, front and rear.............................. 90
----
Total 475
Freight by DHL, 7 days delivery 168
----
Total 643

Got to be better than the 'Rip Off' we are being subjected to! elsewhere.
I've asked Dan to check the stress loading of the LR Cargo Barrier, to compare with the Milfords here.
Cheers, Don.

Hi Terry / Garry,

That's a tricky question because l ordered other things such as the rear cargo mat etc which were heavy and added more to cost of freight. I guestamate delivered it will total around AUD$200, but shoot Dan an email and he'll get back to you promptly with an exact figure. Our dollar is only getting stronger, so cost continuing to come down.
