Hi All


It seems like the sill area is more enclosed than I have seen on PTO 03s seems to be plastic liner/insert.

More dirt nests (behind the cover).
Less drag.

Is it any different, or just the photos not showing the edge clearly?

Thanks for that shot DCPU but have never seen that on any of the vehicles I have seen and I have seen many

@Stu_Barnes You're dead right, well spotted - actually the transporter had broken down and was being repaired at the roadside at the time the photos were taken. The photos originated from a recent posting on FB by a South African living in Pretoria - Geoffrey Rippon (not @CountyV8).

Wow ~ that last photo really shows the width of the rain gutter. It must be spec'd for monsoon season.

It's what we call an awning here in England.

Interesting, I hadn't really noticed it when driving at demos, unlike the front bumper. Although camera angle can exaggerate the bumper, I'm just glad I can't see it from the cockpit.

It will stop my pet hate. Opening the side window only to get a face full of water or it running straight in and going down the door card or in the case of a disco straight into the elec window switches !!

It does look very unsightly from that angle though. When anyone looks round mine, I am going to have to stop them lying on the floor and looking up the side of the vehicle
