ook as i was after a set of sill pockets and they are rear as rocking horse... Lizzie has skills in the sewing department and today we made up a template for her to get to work on.. So to get to the point (depending on how these come out) She may offer these for other peoples.. Are you lot interested? Assuming the prototype goes well, they can be made just about any colour (this may change). As a guestimate, material + slave labour price would be about a £15. and that depends on the material you chose and quality ect ect once i get the prototype into the car, i'll get pics ect, but assuming this goes well who would be interested in a pair? 1. Stuwy (obviously) 2.

I have mine too. I never used them.

I took them off when fitting the carpet set, and never re-fitted them.

I will put my name down for a set, the amount of crap that gathers in the passenger seat over a weeks daily use is silly. unless of course someone who isn't using theirs wants to sell.

Another Update: Leatherette pockets are done and on the car, pics to follow later. Two different designs so i'll put both up. (yes i have odd pockets :lol: ) they look reall neet, i think some meterials will work better then others, the Leatherette is prob the best TBH because lots is hidden and real leather will be wasted and expencive.
