Tow electrics fitted yesterday - not a bad or difficult job really just a bit fiddley and did not have to remove the bumper so just got the side rubbing strips to fit once they arrive as they are on back order

The sill plates were only £37 on ebay and a decent set they are

I called the folk that make the bumper trim you have mentioned and asked how close it was to OEM and they said the one they were selling was slightly more shiny than OEM as the OEM is more of a brushed aluminium.

Also I made the seller an offer of less than the £225 asking price and he accepted

OK so fitted these today and wondered what do you guys think - I do have the brushed silver set on order or could go back to the black plastic paddles with the std rotary shifter?
