Bootliner is well worth having. Make sure it's the proper moulded "thick" rubbery/plastic one and not the flimsy cheaper one.

In my experience the driver's carpet mat tends to show wear quick enough around the heel area. Rubber mats for the driver side at least is probably a good idea for the winter months. I do think they're a bit ugly and agricultural looking though tbh.

Dealer did not know anything about it on delivery (24/04). Went back last week to collect my mats and dealer told me I’m number 24 and the plaque is on its way and will let me know when it arrives. So hoping to hear soon.

Excellent! That’s a very early bird. What did you have to go get mats? Did they not give the Edition 50 red and green stripped ones?

I’d ordered winter mats and bootliner which weren’t in stock when I went to collect. Car did indeed come with the lovely ED50 mats 😀 not sure there is any green on them though….. feels a bit of a waste putting in winter mats in place of the nice ones, but they just get wrecked ha.
The plaque is a nice touch. No sign of any plaque on Irish Edition 50's

It should be for the whole of UK, rather than just England. I would chase them up. Send the video if they don’t believe you.

Ireland isn’t in the UK  :rolleyes:

Sorry I was just assuming we’re talking about NI. Yes, very short sighted I know  :shocked:

No worries, it did give me a chuckle  :smiley:

In my defence your honour, I submit I was simultaneously playing Chess well beyond my normal hours of operation and unfortunately was losing too  :grin:

Thanks for the info guys, yes Ive hadG-Techniq coatings for years and you'd even wonder sometimes about them but the stance of the 50 is definitely making me think PPF is a serious option to consider.
Joe was it Flawless (Expel) you used do you mind me asking.
