Better there than the wharf.

Mine arrived 2 weeks ago, $275 including freight from China, looks great. Took 1 month from time of ordering

Very happy with it.

Now to source A pillar trims.

I bough 2 sets of the a pilar trims from aliexpress, and regret.
Installed one set, barely.
Had to ditch the metal clips etc can't even remember anymore, but they were very hard to get on etc compared to the oem ones.

They cost somewhere between 20 and 30 euros per set and I will be going for the oem ones as soon as small things like those come up on the very long list of things...

I just purchased 2 fiberglass A pillar trims. They weren't cheap, but should last forever

Not entirely convinced a ship wasn't involved given it's just turned up 2 months after ordering and a month late. Either way it's here

minor details, tho it's also taken me my sweet time to fit. Mostly because I got far too stuck into while you're there (poked at some rust, pulled some more trim off and then oh dear)see here: An amateur attempts some rust repair (upper windscreeen).
Attachment 194860
Plenum looks mint despite fitting the blanking plugs being terrifying, my repairs (including some infuriating over spray) less so. Long term I want the roof white and tbh given the quality of painting (visually atleast, it's all proper 2pack applied per instructions) I think it looks less bad in white.

Ah, yes, I hear you. The rust near the hinges and the overspray [bigsad]
But who needs masking tape?

Do you mean on the bonnet? That's a bit of masking tape, there's two patches above the line that got painted because they were starting to bubble.

Hah! I was talking about mine, not yours. Still have to clean up the overspray, but it adds "patina".
