Easy, Iv carpeted mine, once you get shelf out it's a few clips, then you remove sunvisors and grab handles it's just tucked behind a and b pillars,

I found it a tad fiddly, but it’s not difficult.

@gazza I’m working on getting it even quieter as I’m still not 100 % happy with it. I’m going to order a sheet of MLV for the cab floor today
Have you got a photo of yours after carpeting mate? I like the sound of that!

@the swan fiend here you go mate, a warning though it's a bit of a pain putting the sunvisors back on, Iv broken a few clips trying. Much prefer the carpeted look though other than that horrible beige plastic. ImageImageImageImageImage

Just something little but always handy, installed a set of wind deflectors from team HEKO decent quality and should get the job done.

Also got a bit bored with the bog standard horrible steering will so decided to spruce it up with some vinyl wrap and a cheap steering wheel cover (I hate steering wheel covers, always feel just wrong) but it matched the seats and will do for the mean time haha.

Today, I’ve been to A pillar trim hell! Got the drivers side on ok, passenger side one is fitted.....ish. I can only assume it’s bent somehow. The holes for the little bit of trim with the vent in are way out and it pops out at the dash end when I try get it in the door seal. I’m contemplating buying another one.
Before I do, any fitting suggestions or techniques will be welcomed

Just picked these up from Manchester, £70. Can't complain, they just need a good clean. Have to save up for some touran bases now. ImageImage

@DeanWhit, how is it that you pay £70 for a half leather black set and I pay £120 for a green set? Absolute bargain mate. They’re going to look spot on when fitted. Brilliant find!!
