I'll happily edit the price accordingly once I have a better idea of their clean condition.

Already spoken to Thomas' friend and PM'ed Hloni, so apologies to anyone else interested for my oversight.

Cheers, Nic

Hi Hloni,

Sorry for the late reply. The world has come crashing down all around me over the last day or so. :o

I cleaned them up and gave the strips a quick polish.

They are not pretty. The rubber mats are not bad, but the trim has quite a number of scuff marks.

There are a few broad dings in the metal. You wouldn't see them with the rubber mats on, but they are there.

I would suggest a repaint of the metal as there is surface rust.

Overall, the quality is not nice and I'm not particularly keen to sell them anymore because I am not comfortable selling goods like this.

That'll teach me to check the boxes first next time. ;)

Cheers, Nic
