Adding some trimmings

Leather gear lever gaitor (with orange stitching of course).
Cheap mod but something which I think adds a nice touch to the cab area - not the easiest thing in the world to fit though. There were a few brief moments when having a third hand would have been very handy. It reminded me of the angst of trying to adjust the brakes on my old BMX.



Next up -
No, it's not a Punch and Judy show, just some curtains to make things a little more convenient when wanting some privacy in the back. These are a lot easier and quicker to draw than putting the thermal blinds up. 
There are many types of curtains on the market and after a little bit of reading I saw no reason to look any further than the ones made by Kiravans



If you're going to fit these, a couple of things to keep in mind...
1.  The curtains themselves come fitted with press-studs that are designed to clip onto studs that you screw on on the sides of the window frames.  On the sliding door, one of these won't have anywhere to go as it positions right where the plastic housing for the sliding door handle is.
2.  When you're driving around, keep the press studs done up or the little rattle from the press studs will drive you crazy. 
Doesn't stop these being a really great mod that's really easy to fit.
