new set of rubbers for boot and doors

Many thanks

Thanks Ken

I'm in Vic., so Dandenong suits.

Do the mat and rubbers     come from Rare spares?

If you take it to Vinney's in Factory 2 / 74 Bennet Street Dandenong Ph (03) 9794 7530 be prepared for a wait or get a guaranteed completion date.

It took them 9 months to do some silver plating for me, chrome might be different.  Every month I rang to be told yes we're doing it next.  One time I went in after being told it was ready, to find it wasn't mine, oh! sorry yours will be next.  After another three months I picked it up.  A bit cheaper than quoted and an excellent job.
