Have you not re-fitted your door trims yet?

When you do, you may find that you dont have the plastic surrounds for
the pull handles (since you gave me 4), and you have an extra lock
pluger surround since i only have one!. If you need them then let me
know!

I trust it's not got a cat? removing the cat front pipe and substituting a
standard one made a big difference on our TDi disco.

Does anyone know of any exhaust 'part' suppliers?

I need to get hold of a bit of pipe, about 6 inch long, with a flange
that will take an olive on one end, and straight on the other.....

Unless someone has one on their lounge floor?

my series hardtop doesnt have anything more complicated than just
windows stuck into cut holes using the rubber window seal. The 101
side windows are the same too.
They were even done as a DIY job by a previous owner on the 2A cos
they arnt quite straight..

Did I mention that I fitted a window in the near side of Edward II? Came
from the partition of a defunct sherpa van, and it's flat, roughly 12"x10"
or maybe a bit more, and with rounded corners. Looks like it was made for
it, and improves the safety by an amazing amount when pulling out of
junctions.
