Talking Ricks Console Cover

Still quite new to the s2000 (previoulsy owned by KMB) so have just got around to getting the ricks leather console cover, leather gator, knob sock and clear indicators.

It took about 7 weeks for the items to come through and parcel force also nicely billed me for VAT and their handling charge (which was more than the VAT !)

but here are the pictures, i think the console cover alone has made it look 100 times better (and more expensive) !







Oh and a few just washed and waxed pictures for good measure.
(meguires shampoo and meguaires liquid wax)









PS its definately the fastest colour !

Looks good

FWIW I've had couriers try to bill me on several occasions for handling charges on camera equipment from abroad. On each ocassions I have paid the Duty and refused to pay the handling charge - pointing out that at no time had they disclosed to me what their handling rates were - so I didn't have the opportunity to decline delivery. I am yet to have them come back and pursue me for the additional charges.

Maybe worth a try next time? But that only works if they deliver and then invoice you afterwards

unfortunately they withheld the item and when i queried the handling charge their arguement was if you want the parcel you pay the fee !

I wouldnt mind but the parcel force office is about 4 miles from my house.

So not only did i have to pay the VAT and handling charge i had to pick it up myself !

Your car looks very tidy

As with all these things, you do one job then spot another. I think your roof could now do with some loving treatment
