Great work !!
Raised one question for me....I, too, have an adaptor plate on mine (235/75/15 on it), and considered removing it, except for one thing...looking at your photo, is there still sufficient gap for water from the window washer to find its way onto the upper half of the glass.....just a thought..:dry:

Hi Gus,

You know I had never considered that. I just went downstairs to have a check. Looked at the tyre and though that there is no way it would (I couldn't even see the window washer plastic stalk). I flicked it on to check and to my surprise, it sprayed up the window to the top! So looks like it should be okay.

Had a few hours spare so I tried 'flocking' with a little DIY kit I found on eBay. Scrubbed the rear-interior panel (passenger side), primed it and painted it with some grey plastic paint and gave it a light coat of varnish.

Flocked the arm-rest bit in light grey.
