VDUB007, have you just got the mesh one that hangs behind the seats or is the XL one of those that also covers the back seats ? Also, where did you get yours from and how much ?  :smiley:

One of these is on my list of things to do/get.  :smiley:

Thanks for the comments.  :smiley:

As for the parcel shelf, it's not actually leather,  :shocked: it's like a vinyl but does have a leather look to it.  :grin: I recently had the tonneau cover made up by a coach trimmer in Bradford (WestYorkshire) and he matched it to the original cover as close as he could and he did a good job, so when I decided to retrim the parcel shelf I asked him to get me some more material of the same colour and for the shelf it was only £10. Your best bet is to go to a local coach trimmers and ask them to match up some material for you. Failing that I can give you the guys number, he's a bit strange but he can get hold of stuff as he has a lot of contacts.  :smiley:
