You dodged a bullet there

This raptor paint is pretty tough, but regardless, I've not yet used them for tying down, rather a handle to help access the roof. I wanted the textured look, otherwise yes anodized would have been an option
Is there enough play/slack in them to allow a 1mm or so if anodising?
Sounding good.
Champing at the bit here, hope to see it by xmas. What was your build month? Also, how do the throws attach? I've used covers before from Sheepskin & Opal World but not sure if they'd fit the Recaros. We spotted a Scottish White with black roof today northbound on the Bruce, just south of Forest Glen I think it was. Looked great, they certainly look the part.
Were you in a Tesla? I was never sent a specific build month but thought for some reason Jan/Feb...if you are back up this way you are welcome to come and see the add ons and yes I was near Forest Glen at 15 after 5 pm roughly today...the throws attach by headrest and straps under the seats...will look forward to seeing you when possible...Sounding good.
If and when in Brissie I will contact you cheer Big fellaGreat to hear Max. Next you're in Brisbane I'd be happy to buy you a coffee and you can show me how much you like her.
And I agree, always best to position yourself where you can see her front corners.
The raptor would be thicker I'd imagine, and yes they clamped down nicely
No, a Jeep GC heading southbound.Were you in a Tesla?

The tow pack was ordered out of the factory; the original tow balls were withdrawn as they did not meet the "S" value specification. My Grenadier will be a regular classic car and boat tug.
My build month was March.
That’s a good option Max. I saw some of that (or similar) at Clark’s Rubber, but discounted it because the holes would let sand etc straight through. But it provides good cushioning / is thicker than the stuff I’d planned on using so maybe a rethink is in order.My build month was March.
Yesterday I was traveling back from Noosa where I was able to pick up an adaptor for my trailer lights 13 pin Euro to 7 pin flat... then called into the agents to show them the rubber mat for the rear luggage compartment and how it fits perfectly for the tie-down strips...as you can see I have not cut all the fixing points but think 3 aside will do the job...the rubber mat has small round lugs on the under surface that act like little suction caps...it apparently designed for working and walking on wet areas...I initially bought it for my daughter's coir mat to sit on outside in the weather so the water and sand would fall through and not have a soggy coir mat...it works a treat...it is quite heavy...the little round lugs I cut off to sit flat in the corners were you can see the slightly raised section were I have lifted the mat to expose the strip...the best cutting method I could come up with was sitting it on a strip of timber, a steel straight edge and a Stanley knife that I sharpened on a stone...I left a piece of the rubber profile with the agents, Paul and Simon at Noosa Mazda who are right into what is going on in the Gren world...they have a demo which is Simon's own car...he is happy to through you the keys...happy motoring
Are you sure that was the reason?
I am repeating the story I was given by IA. I cannot imagine a bike carrier would be the prime reason for so much scrap, but I don't know the circumstances.
I have never heard of needing an emissions sticker in France. Even ADAC (AA in UK) did not give us any hint on this.
It’s a new thing. I first read about it this week
